Wichita Earthquake?

[D_JEEPER]

Just had a buddy post up that he got rolled around a bit out there. Any IBB'ers out that way confirm?

Edit: he's faster than the USGS

That was just his neighbor's old lady slipping on the icy porch steps.

Is that area known for quakes?

Or is this the beginning of 2010 again..

Yes. Quakes brought on by injection wells, sure... but historically they happened long ago as well.

I'm about an hour north of Wichita and I didn't feel anything. That's not saying much, the ones I've felt around here just leave you wondering "what the hell was that" and are over in a few seconds.

Never let historical events get in the way of spreading doom.

New Madrid Fault.

 

[DuckTape]

Have a friend near Cunningham KS post that she felt it.

 

[Mr Stubs]

New Madrid Fault.

Was it the old Madrid’s fault too or did the kid just go off the rails?

 

[TheFlyingDildocupine]

New Madrid Fault.

You don't have to be right on top of the epicenter to feel it. BTW, I was answering Stubs question as to if quakes were ever in that area.
You also don't have to be right on the major fault line for a quake.

Look at the USGS map. It occurred outside the imagery you posted. Like completely outside the entire frame of the image.

Wichita Earthquake would be a good band name.

It appears to be on the Nemaha Uplift fault.

 

[CDA 455 II]

Look at the USGS map. It occurred outside the imagery you posted. Like completely outside the entire frame of the image.

Then why do San Diegians feel the earthquakes from the high deserts and offshore (radius: 30 to 100+ miles)?

What does that have to do with anything?

The New Madrid fault zone is 500 miles from the epicenter of this quake.

Get the fuck outta here with your logic. Ain't nobody gots time for Dat.

My point remains; you don't have to be at the epicenter to feel it.


I interpreted your post as reading; 'you have to be on top, or nearly on top of it, to feel it'.


500 miles is indeed a far distance, though.


The 1964 Alaskan earthquake (9.2); people in Seattle 1,200 miles away felt that sucker!

Never mind. You'll never get it.

Your Wichita Correspondent here, can confirm.

Because they're a bunch of meth addled sensitive snowflakes?

 

[Fullsize80cherokee]

Must be because the fracking and we aren’t paying enough taxes to the government to fight climate change

 

[DRTDEVL]

Talking to the mirror?

The epicenter is shown in the USGS map. Your map doesn't even have the epicenter in its frame. This quake originated on a fault line over 500 miles from the New Madrid Fault, and was only a 4.5...

Thank you for proving my point.

 

[TheFlyingDildocupine]

Thank you for proving my point.

What point?

Someone asked if that place was known for earthquakes. You show a pic of a completely unrelated fault line hundreds of miles away.

I guess by your standard the san andreas makes utah seismically active.

Wichita Earthquake would be a good band name.

Better than Ness City Dustbowl?

This reminds of the little pizza place in the neighboring metropolis of Rush Center.

Fracking does lube things up and let them move easier. So the real question is, would you rather have a bunch of small quakes or 1 giant one?

If the new madrid fault ever goes again there will be some serious damage back here.

Well, technically....................
