*IndyMeso* Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well, im stumped haha. Even as Natural Resource minor in college I had no idea about this stuff. But very cool nonetheless. I would safely assume these seismotologists had no idea what they were getting into this morning haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*IndyMeso* Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ok I have to do this because I think it is absolutely hilarious. But as my coworker put it "I knew this 'earthquake' seemed a little fishy". http://www.fox59.com/videobeta/?watchId=67fc70e9-7477-434e-8678-36ec9e57f5d4 I think this guy may be on to something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 There's also something called the Royal Center fault in northern Indiana which can be seen on the map at the bottom right: http://igs.indiana.edu/geology/structure/tectonicfeatures/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 A little more on this earthquake: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=61770&source=0 Also some info on a few other Illinois/Indiana quakes: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/?n=earthquake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I was looking at some of the old COOP forms from West Lafayette, and came across this one from October 1895. Seems the observer recorded an earthquake (or effects they attributed to a possible earthquake) on the 21st of that month. His/hers details of the event are in the remarks section in this link. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/A9C0813D-5FCB-4051-8048-85553882D7CF.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Just clicked on your link and it looks like the observer wrote "31st." It's a little hard to read though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Here's more about the 1895 event: http://www.showme.net/~fkeller/quake/lib/charleston1895.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty hard to read, it took me a couple of times to make sense of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 This is interesting. New research suggests that at least one of the big New Madrid quakes may have actually occurred in the Wabash Valley seismic zone. http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/midwest/2010/06/09/110588.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
