British Columbia Silent Earthquake |
Hi All. Here is something to think about. Take Care…Don in creepy town “The equivalent of a magnitude-6.7 earthquake jostled the coast of Washington in the summer of 1999 and no one even rolled over in bed. No pictures fell off walls, no glassware broke. It was a silent earthquake that struck the Pacific Northwest without any brittle rupture or shockwaves — a quake that lasted more than a month, making it almost imperceptible at ground level. Watch out. These slow shifts of the earth can be quiet doomsayers.” “Scientists from the Geological Survey of Canada reported in the April 19 Science that seven continuous GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers in southwest British Columbia and northwest Washington that had been slowly and steadily moving northeast, suddenly and briefly switched their direction with no seismicity recorded.” Follow Ups: ● Re: British Columbia Silent Earthquake - FFA Triggered? - Petra Challus 19:57:25 - 11/2/2001 (10638) (1) ● Re: British Columbia Silent Earthquake - FFA Triggered? - Lowell 20:34:43 - 11/2/2001 (10640) (0) |
