New Madrid

[Gerard Zwaan]

There has been much made of an earthquake in the recent past long the New Madrid fault line, as this was unexpected, being in a quiescent area, and thus raised all manner of questions regarding the possibility of massive earthquakes in areas presumed to be safe. Simply put, there are no earthquake free areas, and during the coming pole shift, all parts of the globe will be subject to them, without exception. Thus, individuals living in areas which have never experienced an earthquake should not presume safety but should take the same steps in preparing for the pole shift that those living atop highly active fault lines take - stay out of old or masonry buildings, and anticipate earthquakes as severe as any that mankind has ever experienced and noted.

Our description on the pole shift itself describes not a single jolt when the crust stops moving but a series of jolts. Most severe earthquakes are like this, in fact, if one examines their pattern. There are small quakes ahead of time, swarms, and jiggling that unsettles people as they sense something is pending. Then when the rock fingers that are preventing the fault line from sliding or subducting suddenly break, a large jolt. This often, within minutes, results in more jolts as the pressure that was at one point now moves to be pressure at the next point where rock fingers are holding the slippage. Aftershocks result, as yet more rock fingers break, until a point arrives where there is so much resistance to slippage that the quake and its after effects is considered complete. 

For the New Madrid, which will include the European tsunami in its effects, there will be one large jolt with a subsequent and almost immediate tearing of the Atlantic. We have stated that the European tsunami will be the largest, but smaller ones will follow in time. Likewise for the New Madrid adjustment, which involve a tearing of the entire N American continent from the seaway down to Mexico. This adjustment will not occur until minor rock fingers have been steadily broken in a number of places. The areas to be affected have already been experiencing quake swarms, buckling roadways, sinkholes, breaking dams, and unsettling jigging which is unexplained by the authorities. When the primary blockage gives, there will be a huge jolt, with little warning. Aftershocks will continue until the time of the pole shift itself.

It is known by man that the New Madrid Fault line runs beyond the immediate area of New Madrid. When we stated that "Chicago will rupture and adjust" and "Ohio will be pulled in places" this should not be news to man. The New Madrid runs up along the Seaway, to the mouth of the Seaway, and thus will rupture any land it passes through. Plot its course and consider that more than the fault line itself will be disrupted. Rock detached from its former connections is free to react to the dominant theme in the area. If rock was held down, formerly, it can bounce up. If rock was held back, it is free to spring forward. And adjustment in rock strata means that loose soil will sink or heave. This most certainly can affect a broader area than just the fault line. We have stated that Ohio will be affected most in this regard. These matters are related to the rock strata, which bonds or breaks, as we have stated. There is a natural break in the rock strata holding Ohio, along the Ohio River and into its headwaters, as can be seen. Why should Chicago be affected? There is a natural break in the rock strata between the New Madrid and Chicago also, a weakness, which will rupture with the New Madrid. When the Seaway pulls apart there will be a dropin support formerly present during rock attachments. Chicago has long been predicted, by ourselves and others, to be devastated. Much of the infrastructure will rupture, causing buildings to crumble and freeways to be worthless and irreparable. One need only follow the geology of the region, to predict what will happen.

During the 7 of 10 New Madrid adjustment the Seaway will be affected, as we mentioned earlier. It will not tear open to the degree we predicted for the pole shift itself, but weak points along the Seaway will adjust. During the 7 of 10 Duluth will find crevasses nearby, similar to the crevasse that has occurred recently in the Michigan Penninsula, but with greater depth and scope. Inland locks along the Seaway will break. Detroit and Toronto will be unaffected during the 7 of 10 except of course for earthquake damage. As the New Madrid fault line runs up along the Seaway just under the Great lakes in Ohio, cities such as Cleveland and Toledo will find their infrastructure greatly shattered in places as the rock beneath them will jut and drop, vertical adjustments. Buffalo, being virtually on the fault line, will likewise be shattered in this way, such that freeways become useless, but the seaway at Niagara Falls will remain.

As both sides of the New Madrid Fault Line are pulled in opposite directions, the entire fault line operates as a slip-slide fault line. In that the land just to the west of the Mississippi River moves the greatest distance, to ease the pressure on the bow currently formed by the N American continent, this creates a void, a stretch zone void, causing the land there to drop, as we have explained. This is the region currently experiencing precursor earthquakes, the region considered the New Madrid region. But the movement is not yet happening, the void not yet being created. Instead, occasional slight slip-slide adjustments are being made, deep within the rock strata, causing minor quake swarms or sympathetic jolts in neighboring areas. The rock fingers are slipping, but not losing their grip. 

When the plate tearing starts in earnest, these slip-slide jolts will be huge, and rise up to the magnitude 8-9 range, as we have stated. These quakes will ride up to the bend in the fault line just south of Lake Michigan. Earthquake damage is primarily done when the rock close to the surface is affected, as is known by man. The quality of the rock along the fault line thus affects the shaking and resulting damage to the surface. A glance at a map of the geology of the fault line shows that the rock along the Mississippi at Arkansas and Missouri is younger, laid down by sediment, and tends to fracture broadly, thus relaying earthquake jolts over a vast area. Broad fractures also cause post quake adjustments, so the quake includes rock shuffling, all of which translates to a larger magnitude for the area. Thus, the worst of the New Madrid adjustment will be felt in this area. 

The rock strata that hold Illinois and Indiana is older, and more solid. Fracturing of the rock tends to be a single jolt, not the multiple ricocheting jolts that magnify any adjustment in the rock strata experienced by the rock strata in Arkansas and Missouri. The magnitude will still be considered high, perhaps an 8, but the shaking will not last as long, and the damage therefore not as great. Were the bend in the fault line just south of Lake Michigan not at a point where the southeastern part of the US is dropping away from the Seaway, the damage along the Seaway would be much greater. The Equator is expanding in the center of the Atlantic, and has already, by this time, ripped open between S America and Africa. The southeast thus drops toward this void, relieving pressure and friction along the slip-slide in the fault line as it runs under the Seaway. 

By the time the New Madrid adjustment reaches the bend, land to the west of the Mississippi has already dropped, pulled away, but this actually puts more pressure on the fault line as it runs under Michigan. This holds, momentarily, while the southeast starts to drop toward the Atlantic Rift, and then pulls apart sharply. Here, beneath Michigan, the jolts will also not last for long, and will also be considered up to magnitude 8. The fault line thence along the Seaway will unzip, along rock strata borders already established. Where stretch zones such as this normally have adjustments that are basically silent, they do much damage. The unzipping creates crevasses and landslides and sinkholes, and when this occurs under cities is devastating. The quakes will be considered much less than magnitude 8 but the damage will be greater, with consequent lost of life and infrastructure. A building that has collapsed because of a large jolt is no different than one that has collapsed because the ground beneath it sank.

As is known, there is a fault line running up along the East Coast of the US that attaches to the New Madrid fault line in the Gulf. Both fault lines touch there, in the Gulf, and when the New Madrid adjusts there is a sympathetic adjustment up along this fault line. During the last New Madrid adjustment, church bells rang in Boston and cracks appeared in buildings in Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. These changes are caused by earthquakes equivalent to a magnitude 4-5 or less, not serious.

3 Earthquakes Rattle Missouri Right in the New Madrid Seismic Zone

By Strange Sounds -  Nov 28, 2019

https://strangesounds.org/2019/11/earthquake-missouri-new-madrid-se... 

The New Madrid Fault System is rumbling again.
Within the last 10 hours, 3 tremors of M2.6 and 2 times M2.0 rattled Lilbourn and New Madrid, respectively.   The first earthquake, a M2.0 tremor, hit 1:40 a.m. CST (7:40 UTC), 7km SSE of New Madrid, Missouri, at a depth of 4.2 miles (6.8 km).

About 9 hours later, at 10:30 a.m. and 10:33 a.m. local time, a M2.6 was followed by a M2.0 quake just 4-5km SW of Lilbourn, Missouri. Both quakes were also very shallow (4.9 miles and 5.3 miles).

It is of course too early if those 3 quakes are a sign of the incoming ‘Big One’ along the New Madrid Fault Zone. But let just say that the seismicity in the region has increased in intensity within the last few weeks with several tremors larger than M3.0 in October and in September, repeatedly (Arkansas M3.7, series in Lilbourn, M3.1 in Lilbourn).

Today, it is clear that the 150-mile-long New Madrid Seismic Zone will blow. It’s even so sure that scientists have extrapolated a terrifying 40% chance to blast in the next few decades.

Doing so, the Big New Madrid Quake’ will impact at least 7 states – Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi – with 715,000 buildings damaged and 2.6 millions of people left without power.

Dropping and pulled to the SW, soft rock explosions. Explosions continues throughout the day. Big evac too.

The authorities at Port Neches are not even attempting to explain what caused the explosion on November 27, as the damage at ground zero is so extensive. This is related to the New Madrid Fault Line adjustment ongoing, which at the current time is pulling the soft sedimentary rock west of the Mississippi River down and to the southwest. Stretch zone adjustment seldom register as quakes, but cause land tilt, crevasses, zig-zag train tracks, separations in roadways or bridges, snapped water and gas mains, and collapsing buildings.

Often stretch zones will have sections that are cohesive, with borders between these sections taking the brunt of the stretch or tug, though the entire section may tilt. Port Neches is clearly a border between sections, and the jolt felt for miles was due more to the ground movement than the explosion. The stage has been set for a New Madrid unzipping along the fault line. Africa rolled on November 26, as was shown during the recent spate of strong quakes in Albania. This allowed S America to roll further, so the tip of Mexico was shoved and Port Neches dropped.

Cincinnati building collapse with three injured

by: The Associated Press
Posted: Nov 25, 2019 / 05:42 PM EST / Updated: Nov 25, 2019 / 05:42 PM EST

CINCINNATI (AP) – Authorities say at least three people have been injured in Cincinnati after part of a building under construction collapsed.

Cincinnati Fire Chief Roy Winston said three people on the structure’s fifth floor were injured when part of the building collapsed Monday afternoon after workers on the sixth floor started pouring concrete.

Winston said one worker had minor injuries and the other two had more serious injuries. He said all were in stable condition.

The chief said crews were searching for any others who might have been injured and contractors were making sure workers were accounted for.

The structure resides on a construction site and isn’t accessible to the public.

Ron Howard, property manager of the building across the street, described the collapse as sounding like a “bunch of mud, metal crashing, timber falling.”

We have been watching the Oxford seismo jitter when the Black Hills seismo goes black. Now we find that those "little" quakes nearby Oxford are in fact very DEEP. This rock is tearing, under the hard rock. The unzipping is in process!!

Digital First: Rare Mississippi Earthquake Wednesday Night
November 22, 2019
https://www.wjtv.com/top-stories/digital-first-rare-mississippi-ear...
We are on the southern edge of the New Madrid Seismic Zone. There have been three earthquakes this year in Mississippi: January 8th, Hollandale, Magnitude 3.7; August 9th, Canton, Magnitude 2.8; November 20th, Booneville, Magnitude 2.3

[Nancy Lieder]

Per the Zetas, all is in place for the big New Madrid adjustment - the Seaway spreading, the New Madrid region restless, heaving ground in the Ozarks, and West Coast quakes too, restless. What will set it off, per the Zetas, are large quakes at the tip of Mexico, which will be quickly followed by the unzipping of the New Madrid. Are these quakes in Mexico "large" enough? One can see the 7 of 10 hand here, as first the S American roll happens, then Mexico tip at the N American continent gets squeezed in a bow, which affects Kamchatka region as the N American Plate has a solid lip there which the Zetas say will not bend or break. 

[Nancy Lieder]

Notice the syncopation. The Seaway spreading stress at the Black Hills, where the rip of the Seaway ends. Then Oxford, MS likewise goes wobbly, as it is at the point where the Arkansas River touches the Mississippi, and the Arkansas River runs just under the Ozarks, which are heaving at present due to the hard rock there resisting the New Madrid adjustment. Then a 2.4 at New Madrid, which is actually a 4.2 if one adds the 2+ magnitude the Zetas state is being removed from all quakes these days by the USGS.

After Leak in North Dakota, Keystone Pipeline Restart Waiting on Corrective Action  November 8, 2019

https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/midwest/2019/11/08/548023.htm

"This is the fourth significant spill from the Keystone pipeline in less than ten years of operation."

https://www.salon.com/2019/11/01/keystone-pipeline-leaks-383000-gal...

The Keystone pipeline, which carries tar sands oil into the United States, has leaked a large amount of oil across North Dakota. TC Energy, the pipeline’s owner (formerly known as TransCanada) has had to shut down the pipeline due to the leak.
The company released a statement, acknowledging the emergency:

“TC Energy immediately began the process to shut down the pipeline, activated its emergency response procedures and dispatched ground technicians to assess the situation.”
The immediate affected area is some 2,500 square yards, the company said. According to State Environmental Quality Chief Dave Glatt, the company notified regulators of the leak 29 October. Within 24 hours, the oil leak had spread by 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide.

The company is said to be containing the spill and cleaning up the damage, but according to Brent Nelson, an emergency response manager, the clean-up might take somewhere between two and three months to complete.

Environmental Quality Chief Glatt stated that the area’s drinking water remains unaffected, however some surrounding wetlands remain damaged.

In 2013, a similar oil spill happened when Tesoro Corp spilled 840,000 gallons of fracked oil onto North Dakota farmland. It took almost 5 years and over $100 million to clean up the mess. In 2011, another leak occurred in south-eastern North Dakota, and was blamed on a faulty pumping station.

The current TC Energy spill leaked an estimated 383,000 gallons, making it the second spill in as many years. In 2017, the pipeline was estimated to have leaked over 407,000 gallons of oil onto north-eastern farmland in a rural South Dakota area just shy of the North Dakota border.
