New Madrid Earthquakes Still Threaten The Central United States, Scientists Conclude
ScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2000) — The threat of large earthquakes striking the New Madrid seismic zone remains all too real for people in St. Louis, Memphis and other parts of the central United States - despite recent reports to the contrary.
New Madrid Seismic Zone North Anatolian Fault Moment magnitude scale Earthquake liquefaction That is the conclusion of a new study by geophysicists Shelley J. Kenner and Paul Segall published in the journal Science. According to the authors, devastating earthquakes could rip through the New Madrid seismic zone along the Mississippi River sometime this century - potentially causing widespread destruction from Arkansas to Iowa. "We can't say for certain there aren't going to be any earthquakes in the next few decades," says Kenner, a postdoc in geophysics at Caltech and lead author of the Sept. 29 Science study. "There was a sequence of large earthquakes in the past, and it could happen again," adds Segall, a professor of geophysics at Stanford. Winter of 1811 According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the central Mississippi Valley is the most earthquake-prone region of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Most quakes in the area are relatively small and occur within the 100-mile-long New Madrid seismic zone that extends along the Mississippi from Missouri to Arkansas. During the winter of 1811 to 1812, the sparsely populated New Madrid, Mo., area was jolted by a series of three powerful earthquakes now estimated to have been of magnitude 7.5 to 8.3. The quakes caused church bells to ring a thousand miles away in Boston and even changed the course of the Mississippi River. Paleoseismic evidence collected in recent decades indicates that strong "earthquake triplets" similar in magnitude to the 1811-12 temblors have occurred approximately every 500 years along the New Madrid fault and are likely to happen again. Earthquake controversy Some geologists say there is a 90 percent chance that earthquakes of magnitude 6 to 7 will strike the region in the next 50 years, causing extensive damage and injury - especially in now heavily populated urban areas such as St. Louis and Memphis, which are built along the Mississippi on unstable mud banks. But in April 1999, Science magazine published a controversial study, which concluded that "the hazard posed by great earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone appears to be overestimated." The authors of the 1999 study, led by geologist Seth Stein of Northwestern University, wrote that a large earthquake would not strike the region for at least 1,000 years. "It is also possible that 1811-12-style earthquakes may never recur," according to the Stein research team. The authors used Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite measurements to track ground movement in the New Madrid region between 1991 and 1997, but observed "little, if any motion" within the fault zone. According to Stein and his co-authors, this lack of movement suggests that it would take at least 1,000 years to accumulate enough stress along the fault to generate a magnitude 7 earthquake - and at least 2,500 years for a magnitude 8 temblor to occur. But Kenner and Segall disagree with the conclusions reached by Stein and his colleagues. "We're not disputing their GPS data," says Segall. "We're saying that, if you use good data in an inappropriate model, your conclusions will be inappropriate." Segall points out that the 1999 Stein study used earthquake-prediction models for California's San Andreas fault and applied them to the New Madrid seismic zone - a completely different type of fault system. The San Andreas is a "transform fault" that marks the boundary between two tectonic plates - the North American and the Pacific. These two massive land formations constantly grind past one another. As the Pacific plate moves northward, stress and strain accumulate along the fault, triggering large and small earthquakes. The relatively rapid movement of the Pacific plate is easily observed by GPS and ground-based detectors. But the New Madrid is an "intraplate fault" located in the middle of the North American plate, not at the boundary. And while large segments of the San Andreas are clearly visible, the New Madrid fault lies hidden under deep layers of sediment. "Intraplate zones are something of a mystery," notes Segall. "We can't even map the fault, so we don't really know how big it is." "As scientists, we don't understand what's happening in the intraplate setting all that well," adds Kenner. "What we tried to do in our current Science study is to come up with a model that's a better approximation of the New Madrid seismic zone." The Kenner-Segall model suggests that there is a preexisting weak zone beneath the New Madrid fault where stress accumulates over time. "You may not be able to see very much stress accumulation," observes Segall, "but it's there." After many years, the stress shifts from the weak zone toward the surface, where it builds up and eventually causes the fault to rupture, triggering a large earthquake as the ground slips some 15 to 30 feet. How often do these major quakes occur? Every 250 to 4,000 years, say Kenner and Segall, which means that another sequence of large temblors could strike by the middle of the century - perhaps sooner. "The New Madrid fault is like a crack in the wall," comments Segall. "You try to cover it with plaster, but the crack reappears over and over again. It's always going to be there, because it's a preexisting weakness. "I can't emphasize enough that there is a huge uncertainty when it comes to intraplate events," he adds. "For example, we don't know why the earthquakes come in triplets, but it has happened on a regular basis in the past." Earlier this month, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released a study listing the U.S. metropolitan areas at greatest economic risk from earthquakes. St. Louis ranked 16th. "If you live in the New Madrid area, you may still have an earthquake problem," says Segall. "The most prudent thing for people to do is to prepare."

加州的兄弟姐妹们，还是谨慎一点好，有异象发生都是有原因的，每晚睡觉前把一个空的玻璃瓶倒放在卧室的桌子上吧，然后把手机钱包什么的都放在触手可及的地方。
那个。。。容许我再废话一句，习惯裸睡的最好这几天别光着了。。。
看那个新闻说酒店里的人穿内裤跑出来又没衣服可穿，一路引人眼球的新闻有感而发。。。。

就是那种玻璃酒瓶子，瓶颈那段是细的，以前有地震的时候貌似号召大家都这么做，因为一有晃动，人在熟睡中可能没感觉到，但是倒着放的酒瓶子会倒，就会有声音了，掉到地上可能还会摔碎，再熟睡的人也会醒了。。。

嗯，我刚才也想了，很多家里卧室都是地毯的，
我觉得睡觉没那么沉的人，尤其是MM，放在桌子上的瓶子嘭一下倒了肯定也会醒的，如果睡的很沉的那种，比如有些男生，就得把啤酒瓶倒放在桌子边缘，这样才可以掉到地上发出更大的声音。其实即使地上有地毯，嘭一下掉地上也是很大一个声音吧，肯定会很响的，就在卧室里，夜深人静，动静其实应该很大。
如果实在是担心，我觉得可以在桌子下面的地毯上（正对着放瓶子的下方）摆几个饼干桶铁皮盒子什么的，或者拿那种切菜的菜板子那种木板放在下面也行，只要不是那种软绵绵的，瓶子掉下来砸到肯定会发出声音就可以了。
我读书的时候，当时有门课的教授是位公共政策领域的专家，他课上说过当时参加的一个州政府研讨会就是讨论加州如果发生大的灾难，离加州最近的几个州政府如何相应帮助安置难民，毕竟加州是美国人口最多的州，它的人口一迁移，首先就是周边几个州来消化。

我觉得地震的时候，最先知道地震并且第一时间逃离到空旷地方是最重要的，至于水什么的，只要人没事，总归有着落的，而且就算放了干净的水在家里，房子倒了的话，就算水没有被埋掉，也不可能还折回屋子里去找水，跑出去最重要。

加州这种一两层的房子，真的地震是应该逃到外面，还是应该躲在洗手间里，哪个更好些呢
现在这个标题很容易让人略过，以为是心版的内容。。。。
就算是虚惊一场，白担心一场，小心一点、多点准备也是值得的。
再Bless一下～～～～
加州这种一两层的房子，真的地震是应该逃到外面，还是应该躲在洗手间里，哪个更好些呢
无论是何种房子，能尽快跑出去肯定要跑出去的，空旷的地方更安全啊。。。。
尤其是这种矮房子，真要发现晃动什么的，把枕头往下一扔，棉被一抱，从阳台或者窗户对着枕头跳出去也没事的。高的话就会有危险了。。。
跑到外面，周围都是一两层的房子，倒了也砸不到房子外面的人，不像高楼有可能还会倾斜倒塌什么的。
室内的话，就算是木头房子，真要倒了塌了，肯定还是危险的，人是肉做的呀，被房子的建筑材料砸一下还是很容易出事的。

了解。谢谢mm！
了解。谢谢mm！
不客气～～～～
在我很小很小的时候，有过一次地震，一点晃动而已，但是当时很多人听了预报后都很紧张（貌似很多人都跑到外面搭帐篷睡觉），所以我家里也了解了一些应急措施，比如倒着放啤酒瓶什么的，后来酒瓶稍微一晃，我妈立刻一把抱着我就往外跑。。。
其实后来没怎么样，就是有一点点晃而已，有些人都没感觉到。。。
但是，在可以的情况下，往空旷的地方跑是绝对正确的做法，实在来不及跑，要及时躲到桌子下什么的，要找个遮挡的，东西砸下来掉下来不会砸到脑袋上，如果是夜里发生地震，躲的时候直接裹着被子，把脑袋什么的裹好，就算有东西压着，也不会直接冲击到脑袋，有个棉被什么垫着总归好一点。
MM刚才说躲在卫生间肯定不行，卫生间没有躲的地方啊。
睡觉去了，睡前再Bless一把～～～～

听得多了，都没感觉了。。。
这次国内大地震还真是吓到了，回去跟房东聊天，一美国人，在这住了几十年了，说到加州会有大地震，他一点都不在意的感觉，不是不信，是不觉得会有危险。。。
我还是先准备个emergency kit再说吧

美国人可能不太信这些？

我爸就是这么说，地震刚结束就住到家里面去了。。照顾我瘫痪的婆婆，别的亲戚都不知道躲到那边田里去了。
好像新闻里面并没有说什么地震可能性嘛。。。
美国人可能不太信这些？
这个可能性是很难说的，只能说类似：某地在30年内发生6级以上的地震的可能性有56%。
其实没有用。

嗯，我刚才也想了，很多家里卧室都是地毯的，

如果实在是担心，我觉得可以在桌子下面的地毯上（正对着放瓶子的下方）摆几个饼干桶铁皮盒子什么的，或者拿那种切菜的菜板子那种木板放在下面也行，只要不是那种软绵绵的，瓶子掉下来砸到肯定会发出声音就可以了。
是地毯的话，可以放在窗台上，窗台下方的地面上放上铁皮或者玻璃板，也可以不放。从窗台的高度落到地面上应该动静很大了吧。

这次地震前那啥大迁移，也是发生在江苏的是吧？所以现在加州出现异像，如果真的预示什么，最后地震的地点也未必在加州。所有在北美的同学，大家都小心吧
我刚才有这么想来着，怕怕。。那个蟾蜍是在江苏发现的。。。

我们家门口的大概是夜里1、2点叫，一般被它们吵醒后我过半小时左右也就再睡着了，所以不知道它们到底叫多长时间。

不客气～～～～
在我很小很小的时候，有过一次地震，一点晃动而已，但是当时很多人听了预报后都很紧张（貌似很多人都跑到外面搭帐篷睡觉），所以我家里也了解了一些应急措施，比如倒着放啤酒瓶什么的，后来酒瓶稍微一晃，我妈立刻一把抱着我就往外跑。。。
其实后来没怎么样，就是有一点点晃而已，有些人都没感觉到。。。
但是，在可以的情况下，往空旷的地方跑是绝对正确的做法，实在来不及跑，要及时躲到桌子下什么的，要找个遮挡的，东西砸下来掉下来不会砸到脑袋上，如果是夜里发生地震，躲的时候直接裹着被子，把脑袋什么的裹好，就算有东西压着，也不会直接冲击到脑袋，有个棉被什么垫着总归好一点。
MM刚才说躲在卫生间肯定不行，卫生间没有躲的地方啊。
睡觉去了，睡前再Bless一把～～～～
mm说的不对哦，如果肯定是跑不出去的地方，最好就是躲卫生间或者厨房这种跨度小的地方，因为不容易塌。还有背靠承重墙蹲下也是相似的道理
躲桌子/床下面也是不太正确的，应该躲在旁边并且低于家具
颜色美女，我们同命相连啊。

是呀是呀，握手哈。其实我个人不是很怕的，我也相信“生死由命”一说，我妈这次在成都地震的时候那摩泰然，也是相信这个说法，我就是担心儿子，希望要真的地震了我可以在他身边保护他。

好像我看到有关于地震逃生的小tips里有说，发生地震时最好不要往外跑，除非门就在边上，一出去就可以到街上。最好的方法是躲在家具比如床和桌子边上，俯身抱头，确保身体高度低于家具高度。我刚才看了下，准备躲床边了，床垫是有弹性的，应该可以缓解重物砸下来的力量，而且床边有沙发，人躲在两者之间应该相对安全。

Water for each family member for at least two weeks (allow at least 1 gallon per person per day) and purification tablets or chlorine bleach to purify drinking water from other sources
Canned and package foods, enough for several days and MECHANICAL can opener. Extra food for pets if necessary
Camp stove or barbecue to cook on outdoors (store fuel out of the reach of children)
Waterproof, heavy-duty plastic bags for waste disposal.
很有用的list. 不过，这么多逃命时一下子也抗不动啊。
即使蟾蜍真的和地震有关，它们也还是说明不了具体的时间啊，只要没有具体时间就没啥意义。有意义的是自己做好地震逃生的准备和措施。比如我记得说厕所水箱平时不要用那种除水垢的清洁剂，这样万一地震或者什么的水源断了，水箱里的水可以做最后的清洁水源。
真的也！太有道理了，这个周末把自己家的水箱清理一下，之前都还用清洁剂呢！
