WVclimo Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The shaking of our well was bad enough to dredge up a lot of sediment and it fed it into our plumbing. Water is rusty. Changed the filter this morning, and already its nasty again. Will have to change the filter again in a few days. Probably won't be able to drink the water for the rest of this week.

Ian I've heard stupid info on the news an aftershock is expected today due to it being 24 hours ago involving something in relation to the fault, any credibility to the news people?

An aftershock is possible I guess but certainly not an expected thing. I could be wrong, but that sounds a bit out there to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not because it's 24 hrs later at least. I would think we could get a 4.5-5 or so tho still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 No. Not because it's 24 hrs later at least. I would think we could get a 4.5-5 or so tho still. 5.0 might be pushing it. Especially since we've seen 4.2 as the highest thus far. I guess anything is possible. I was actually holding out for a 6.0. Thats pretty significant, surprised we havent seen more aftershocks, thought there'd be a few more. I think the profile might be a bit different than west coast quakes given the different fault configurations etc (I am by no means an expert though). Might have a more gradual aftershock profile - rather than a bunch quickly fizzling we might have one or two for the next few weeks (each week that is).

Mrs.J Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just got home from Gatlinburg, TN. My husband texted me saying that there was an earthquake here. I felt nothing there. Sucked that I could not get through to him till about an hour later. He got home to Frederick and said nothing was out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Don't know if this has been posted, and I'm too anxious to start reading the hurricane threads to look, but has anyone else experienced well water issues.

I was actually holding out for a 6.0. i was just guessing but looks like i was right Mike Blanpied, USGS associate coordinator for the earthquake hazards program, says there could be more aftershocks any magnitude up to 5. “Aftershocks could go on for days, weeks, or even months. They’re most likely to be felt under the next three or four days,” Blanpied said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/earthquake-aftershock-felt-in-virginia-more-likely-to-come/2011/08/23/gIQA0i9TZJ_blog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine, which before yesterday ran clear as crystal, now is cloudy. Anybody with similar experience or thoughts? Yeah, I posted about it earlier today in this thread. We had "rusty" water last night. Changed the inline filter this morning, but we're gonna wait a few days and probably change the filter again before we use the water for drinking/ cooking.

I laugh at West Coasters beating their chests over our quake. This coming from the same people (L.A.) that had a collective panic attack for part of a freeway shutting down over a weekend just a month ago. I also remember being in Seattle one January and it was top news that the low temp was to be 26F!! They gave tips to the public on how to survive and protect your homes.
