Nancy Lieder / ZetaTalk: New Madrid Adjustment

New Madrid

---

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.

👀 Record-breaking heat in Michigan and along the New Madrid Fault Line (9) are a sign that the New Madrid fault is under immense pressure to adjust.

A M6.0 strike‑slip earthquake in the Gulf of California fits the known tectonic behavior of the region: the Pacific Plate sliding northwest past the North American Plate. These quakes are moderately common, often shallow, and capable of producing strong shaking but usually occur offshore.

🧭 Where it happened
The Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) is part of the Gulf of California Rift Zone, a major plate boundary system that:

Connects to the San Andreas Fault to the north

Extends south into the East Pacific Rise

Is actively opening and spreading, slowly creating new oceanic crust

This makes it one of the most dynamic tectonic zones in the Western Hemisphere.

⚡ Why strike‑slip earthquakes dominate
The Pacific Plate moves northwest, while the North American Plate moves west‑southwest. This produces horizontal shearing, the hallmark of strike‑slip motion.

Typical characteristics:

Shallow depth (5–15 km)

Sharp, sudden rupture

Strong lateral ground motion

Frequent M4–M6 events

📈 How common are M6 earthquakes there?
The Gulf of California produces:

Frequent M4–M5 earthquakes

Several M5.5–M6.5 earthquakes per decade

Occasional M7+ earthquakes (historically documented)

So a M6.0 is not unusual — it’s a normal release of tectonic stress along the plate boundary.

🌊 Tsunami risk?
Strike‑slip earthquakes rarely generate tsunamis because they move crust horizontally rather than vertically. A M6.0 in this region:

Low tsunami risk

Possible localized seiches or small water disturbances

No basin‑wide threat

🏘️ Impact on nearby regions
Depending on the exact location:

Baja California Sur may feel moderate shaking

Sonora may feel light to moderate shaking

Southern Arizona sometimes feels faint tremors from larger Gulf quakes

A M6.0 offshore typically causes no major damage, but can be strongly felt in coastal communities.
