i dont see why it was that big of a deal, but people were all freakin out callin up the news stations and shit. 4.9 may be nothing of an earthquake to you or most others on the board...but its the last thing we think thats gonna happen here in Alabama.

You've got a point. But shit dude, I take offense to that remark. Your just saying that because when we were IMing each other I fucking called WAAY to see what was up. Hell, be our god damned luck, that was just the beginning the Earth was getting ready to open up.

Nathan, I'm not sure on the year, I think it was 1814, and yes, it was the one that caused little big foot size 14 lake. Plus the mighty mississippi flowed bassackwards. My Dad was telling me that, he should know, he was there. LOL.

LOL, I'm tellin yer pa.

But yes, weez is talkin of da same one.

I have heard (local news, i think...) that geologists are saying that this could possibly be the start of many. There are literally dozens of quakes that register 1-3 on the richter scale in this region every year.

Here is one website that has a record of ones that have happened in the last 6 months:
http://folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/recenteqs/

There are alot centered around the bootheel of MO and the valley between the Appalacian Mtns and the Cumberland Plateu.

73 in the last 6 months.
