Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I noticed that. First a string on the New Madrid Fault then this one. Also there was a series of 5 or 6 quakes in the same spot more or less in Yellowstone in less than 48 hours. They were mostly around 3.3 on the Richter Scale and about 5 miles down, but again they were all on top of each other. Here's a video clip that was on Foxnews earlier today that talks about the quakes in Haiti and the New Madrid fault. The news guy is kind of annoying, but most of them are. http://video.foxnews.com/v/3973062/new-madrid-fault-line-in-focus?category_id=86861 In a message dated 1/20/2010 4:49:23 P.M.
