Find your faults

as in seismic faults. Very interesting for both the extremely paranoid and the merely curious.

My emergency response group is currently using this info to develop activation plans, since if an earthquake occurs, we probably shouldn't set up our radio stations on top of another fault ;)

Thought of that one all by yourself, huh? :D

Ahh, no Alaska... I grew up in a house that was built at the bottom of a fault line. We were told, though we did question some, that the hill twenty feet from the side of the house rose another 10 feet during the 1964 earthquake. That was a little before my time. Our house was about 10 feet above sea level. So, our plan was to get to the top of the hill as fast as you could if there was an earthquake.

Luckily, we never had to put that plan in motion.

I don't see any in my area but we felt a quake about 9 or 10 years ago so I am not sure where it came from

Yep, lots of faults on the Wasatch Front.... The big one is coming, just a matter of time.

Looks like Virginia has a small, recent (15,000 years old) fault zone between Richmond & Charlottesville. Probably responsible for the 4.5 mag earthquake we had a few years back.

note that the listed faults are only those mapped by USGS or approved by USGS. I get the feeling that some other agencies/organizations may or may not share with the USGS and some the USGS may not accept data from, so your faults may vary.

Thanks for the good news :rolleyes:

But you already knew that, I live in flyover country, and no one really cares.



Care to talk about my insecurities, though?
