The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

today has been a day of vacuuming while his mum had her hair permed, clipping back the overgrowth of a mock orange shrub rowing way too tall, and making a couple of raisin and apricot soda bread loaves.

Did the earthquake interrupt your day???

🤔

😳
 
52°F and sunny. T-shirt and shorts weather. Grilling a pair of chicken hindquarters. I think the sides are sheet pan sweet potato fries and Brussels sprouts.
 
I was really just tying to illustrate to butters that there were / are definitely fault lines in her “neck of the woods”.

Apologies for making you feel neglected.

😑

🤣
I never feel neglected. Just always like to pull out the passive-aggressive map of Alaska so people down south understand how we view the lower 48. :)

From the USGS the Latest Hazard Map from seismic events follows:

People often just forget about what happened yesterday and don't realize that the New Madrid Seismic Zone has been the source of powerful earthquakes in the past, most notably in 1811-1812, when a quake caused the Mississippi River to flow north for a bit.

This is a good read:

Back when I took earth science in high school, we studied the New Madrid fault zone fairly extensively, and I remember being pretty freaked out because we lived in the region. I can imagine that the people in that day & age were probably convinced it was the end of days. Quite a seismic event.
