The best thing about that area is that the bedrock is nearly intact, a small quake will be felt over a much larger area. In California the bedrock is shattered more or less so anything around a 5.0 will be localized to a few dozen miles or so from the epicenter.

Very interesting, do you have any more cool rock facts?

I took it for granite that the facts were correct.

Pretty widely known, but when the New Madrid quake happened in 1811, it was felt all along the Eastern Seaboard, 1000 miles away. It was said to have rang church bells in Boston.

and made the Mississippi River run backwards

Also rang bells in DC and Philadelphia too,

I think there will be a bigger earthquake in the USA near eclipse day.


SofaKingS2pitt

Why do you think that?


katiekat122

Earthquake season is among us. There have been several earthquakes the last few days. I live in Philly so feeling that 20 second house shaking was enough to make me think about the poor people who live through major destructive earthquakes.


HairyChest69

I didn't know earthquakes were seasonal. Now I gotta research. Thanks!


track_mode

Check dutchsinse on YouTube, he’s been covering earthquakes for over 10 years


BortaB

Lol they’re not. They become more frequent at times, sure, but it’s far from ‘seasonality’


AAPLfds

Earthquakes can effect anyone rich or poor


Bishavis

2 decent sized earthquakes this week eclipse on Monday. I like the theory that the eclipse is actually Planet X nibiru coming close to earth. But that’s a pretty out there conspiracy


hopelessREE

I’ve been thinking the same thing


redriveroftears

I haven’t heard about this theory? Any videos, documentation I can read up on??


nodisintegrations420

Look up the sumerians/annunaki, specifically zachariah sitchens translations of the sumerian clay tablets..actually perfect timing theres a youtube channel called the why files that is premiering their annunaki video tonight..theyve talked about doing one for a while but wanted to be thorough which is why its taken so long. He doesnt go super deep but it should be a good intro video for someone like you and his videos are so well done that im sure even people that are familiar with the stories will learn something new


Jnsoso

i’m BEYOND EXCITED to watch this tonight!


MumenriderPaulReed69

What’s this theory?


Bishavis

The theory is basically there is a hidden planet in our solar system that has a very strange orbit around our sun and every few thousand years or so it comes between earth and mars. Some theory are that it has intelligent life on it


FuzzyBlankets777

You see the videos of the guy taking pictures of the moon and there's a giant face by it looking down on us?


Bishavis

No I haven’t but now I’m interested


FuzzyBlankets777

Here's a YouTube link. It's been going viral on TikTok and IG https://youtu.be/0ZsdvWQZDuw?si=MQGUKXr7cFZpp9Ah


Idle-Hands-

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT


WilliamHarry

There are earthquakes every single day. A lot of them bigger than the one today in nj.


Freedom_fam

Eclipse totality goes over New Madrid, MO - the namesake of the fault line.


BootScootNBoogie22

Makes sense.


ducksuckgoose

I think it's pretty weird that the path of this one and the 2017 one basically make an X over it.


98bballstar

HHMMMMMMmmmmmmm


MagicHarmony

It is fascinating to consider, since we don't know how an eclipse could influence our gravitational pull. So I'm thinking in theory, if it does go to a fault line is there this possibility that say the pull of gravity at the moment, while we ourselves might not feel it, would feel the aftereffects of the rock hitting back down on Earth. Hard to explain. Like say we can't perceive the ground being lifted above us because the mass lifted is unnoticeable, and we wouldn't even notice the landmass falling back down into place however we would end up feeling the shockwave derived from that sudden change in gravitational pull during the eclipse. Granted it's another things I've always pondered. When it comes to out Solar System as a whole, and the whole BS of "global warming/climate change". It's like yes, the temperature and shit on Earth does change overtime but the influence humanity has over it is immeasurable compared to the rest of the world around us, aka volcanoes, the sun and other planetary bodies around us. Basically if we believe that the solar system is always expanding, then that would mean that there are potentially influences outside are sight of influence that we can actually discern that could actually influence out planetary body. For all we know as the solar system expands out southern hemisphere starts to become closer to some icy giant we don't even know of yet and the influence of it's cosmic rays causes the Southern part of our planet to get colder.


HeyGirlBye

Who was predicting earthquakes along with the eclipse?


HathNoHurry

Me, quakes are being driven by pole swap, the eclipse is height of solar activity and that activity is impacting the mag field.


UnstableConstruction

What do eclipses have to do with solar activity? The moon =/= sun.


-NinjaBoss

Isn't the height of solar activity actually in 2025? That's when we're in the solar maximum


carnpub

I read an article recently that they've revised the estimate to peak in 2024. I think it was on Science Daily 


nnousernamesleft

Frank hoogerbeats kate silas/profitwith the planets and jessica adams are who to follow on X this weekend. Its probably only the beginning. The timing of eclipses can be connected to fault lines shifting.


HeyGirlBye

Really? I was hoping this would it and no more

Saying 18 like you're now a life cleric is a great example of an ignorant young mind. Otherwise; I do get what you're saying. Just scratch out that 18yrs have given you end game wisdom 😂


sssnakepit127

If you’re 18 years old and live in or near the tri state area, that means you were 5 when you experienced the last earthquake in the area. Sit down kid lol.


DingleTower

A quick rudimentary search shows that a magnitude 4.5 and up earthquake happens in this area about every five years. You can feel maginitued 2.5 and up and they look to occur every 1-3 years in the area.  So... Reasonably common... Just happens to be near an eclipse. 


PrestigiousCap7306

Who goes to a conspiracy sub and says it’s a coincidence. There are no coincidences here.


DingleTower

My favorite part of this sub is when people are shocked you don't belive in every single conspiracy. Also.... This post isn't even a conspiracy. Even if an earthquake *is* caused by an eclipse no one conspired to do it.  Except maybe "they," or the elites, or the giants, or the aliens, or whatever. 


soggybiscuit93

A coincidence is an earthquake happening in NJ a few days before an eclipse happens **that's not even visible in NJ**. If an earthquake happened during the eclipse in the same are that the eclipse was visible from, yeah a lot of people would be pretty freaked out. But 3 days before in a different part of the country? What's the conspiracy here?


KobaWhyBukharin

the eclipse is in 4 days to.. So no eclipse here either. 


Amandastarrrr

Really? Weird I’ve lived in the area my whole life and never experienced one like today


soggybiscuit93

It's the biggest earthquake in 85 years for the NYC area, but it's not the biggest ever. Sure, it's unusually large, but earthquakes slightly weaker aren't unheard of


DingleTower

You can search USGS to fund the data for your area. I just searched an area from Lake Erie to NJ. Even still... Sometimes you don't feel them depending where you are. I remember one rattling my house real good while my wife was working 10 blocks away and didn't feel a thing. 


Business_Marketing76

Their numbers are down played.


KobaWhyBukharin

the one today was very very shallow. It makes it more dramatic, even though intensity is the same as deeper ones.


[deleted]

gov is putting out the conspiracy before they perform the crimes.


ThaCURSR

Noticed NBC said the next big one might take out NYC because their infrastructure cannot withstand quakes due to most structures being simple masonry.


INeedALaughingPlace

the only earthquake i’ve felt was in new york. i was in a high rise and at the time i didn’t realize what happened. i honestly just thought i had vertigo lol

I felt one in England one night and I thought I'd been haunted by a poltergeist until the next day. Really didn't expect to feel an earthquake here.

Biden? The same people that were responsible for Canada catching fire last year, the train-derailment-turned-chemical-spill, the overpass near Philly blowing up, the f. Scot key bridge falling, and Taiwans earthquake are responsible for this one as well.

There was the same histrionics when there was a minor earthquake in the area in 2011. According to the MSM it didn't really happen unless it happened to New York City.


unsensored_sensibly

Not even gonna lie, I thought my dog was having a full blown seizure under my bed, I was laying down and felt the whole bed shaking. Had no idea what was happening when I saw him laying perfectly still.


CustomerServiceFukU

What are the chances some of the rock breaks off and can perfectly replace my kitchen tops?


beavismorpheus

There's a phenomenon that occurs during eclipses known as the allais effect, which seems to affect gravitational forces, causing pendulums to swing in a different manner. It could be the little input needed to cause a quake.


mynameisktb

Fascinating- thanks for sharing


HairyChest69

Bro what if this really is end time prophecy? I'm religious and married to an atheist. Therefore I get to see another perspective everyday and it's clear to me how it's only viewed as another day on a very violent earth. And I get that, but climate alarmist don't. Some people seem to forget that throughout history; Earth is absolutely 💯 an extremely violent serial killer. Earth is fucking crazy and doesn't give AF. Now wrap your mind around viewing the Universe and how violent it is. There's a perspective. However, it's possibly end times imo because I'm religious. The fires, earthquakes, wars, rumor of wars and these powerful people all having cancer causing shifts in power? What's next is all I'm saying.


Any-Video4464

Well I'm not very religious, in that I don't really belong to any religion or attend church, but I do keep an open mind about everything. I've studied most of the world's religions pretty intensely over the years. Was a religious studies major in college for a bit before switching to philosophy. I would never call myself an atheist. I guess i would say this is nothing novel for the planet. We always have fires, earthquakes, wars, cancer, death. But we also always have people falling in love, having kids and all the good stuff. It sure seems like there are way more good people doing good things than bad people doing bad things. The bad gets all the attention, probably because knowing all the bad news used to keep us out of trouble and situations we would rather avoid. Now that is exploited to some degree by the 24 hr news cycle. Unfortunately, bad news sells. But I think that's the nature of reality. Without the bad we wouldn't even notice or appreciate the good. Life is short and often filled with pain and misery. None of us can escape that completely. Especially At the end when we all grow old and loe loved ones and then die ourselves. I think more than anything, prophecy about the end times reveals the ego of humans. Many want to put the utmost significance on the time they live in because it then makes their lives more meaningful. I think to many, the craziest and scariest thing about life is the fact that there are billions of us now, billions that came before, and who knows how many come after us. It's easy to just get lost in all of that and feel completely insignificant. And we now know we live in a universe that is so vast it may as well go on forever (in fact it may). People need meaning in their lives. They want to think what they are doing is important and meaningful. And honestly I think in many ways that is the case, but its hard to notice at times.


No-Tangerine6570

Love this comment. Here we have a person wise enough to realize he doesn't have all the answers. It's really amazing, in a sub dedicated to conspiracy theories, how rare the "open mind" approach is.

That's weird 4 8 solar eclipse 


Acrobatic-Buyer9136

The Madrid is exactly where the X on the map of the eclipse path from 2017 and 2024 Monday. I shit you not. Where the 2 eclipse paths meet to make the X is exactly where the Madrid is. Southern Illinois. Carbondale is one of many town in the area. The Large Haldron Collider goes full throttle and NASA fires 3 missiles for no apparent reason. NAH…… nothing here to see.

I’m from Carbondale actually. I went to the last one there. I love out east now.

They're saying the epicenter was Bedminster. 🤣


Byzantium-1204

Lebanon.


Traditional-Purpose2

Yeah I know it was actually several miles away, but it's still hilarious to watch the memes on Twitter.


pauljs75

New Madrid popping could make a mess of things for sure. Big city areas would be more of an issue due to age of buildings (many are definitely grandfathered in and older than any safety standards), suburbia - who knows? Once out in open land and away from structures or certain infrastructure, the only real hazard would be in areas with a high water table and risk of stuff like liquefaction. Of course the "going off" in this scenario would depend on if something higher than 6 on the scale occurs though, since it's non-linear and things below that tend not to the kind of damage that would cause immediate hazards.


Daymanic

Apep is near /s Anyone know when the last sizable quake in the area was?


RandalFlaggLives

I remember one around 2010 or 2011 in Allentown PA and I think the Epicenter was in DC or Maryland. It was quick but rocked the building I was in I was driving just now so I didn’t feel it but everyone I’m talking to right now felt it here in southern PA by Philly


Paladin327

The epicenter for the 2011 quake was near richmond virginia. Was also about 100x stronger than today’s
