Josh Marshall: "For all the build-up, the actual Trump Lincoln Memorial speech was pretty tame – smallish crowd, pretty unremarkable speech. At least on camera the military hardware was basically invisible. In the event, it was two tanks and two fighting vehicles parked nearby the speech. They made occasional cameos. The Blue Angels came at the end."
Oh no. I thought of you as soon as I heard the news, Alan. There is talk of it being possible that another big quake will occur and be even larger. I do so hope not. Now I want to look for WHERE they think the fault lines will respond next. Yesterday they did say they expected another quake within a day, north of the first.
It is a short, isolated fault, not part of a larger connected system. Even the San Andreas Fault, despite its fame, cannot generate a truly great (magnitude 9+) earthquake; in the US that is reserved to the Cascadia Fault. And there are no tsunami in the high desert.

The Deepening Crisis in Evangelical Christianity [Click] “Support for Trump comes at a high cost for Christian witness.” I can’t help but recall the conclusion to Oh, Gods! by Toby Lester, in the Feb. 2002 Atlantic magazine.

ReplyDeleteOops--another earthquake, seemed a bit stronger but didn't last as long as the one yesterday. Definitely not nearby from the feel of it.
ReplyDeleteNear Ridgecrest again, depth 0.9km, initial magnitude estimate 6.9.

DeleteThey're saying 7.1, so is that an upgrade or an earlier estimate that has come down to 6.9?

ReplyDeleteSo funny. I just read your posts on last night's thread and learned this before going online surfing! :-)
DeleteThat's good to hear, Alan.
DeleteWhat I read yesterday suggested that the short fault could unsettle a fault north of it. Not sure which one they meant.
Alan, did you report that you felt the quake?
