This is HIGHLY unusual. I'll have a quick scout around for more info while I finish my wine.

I appreciate your updates Jane, as I wouldn't have a clue what I'm looking for or at.

Well I'm glad you're interested enough to have a look and I hope I can help you learn some stuff...puts things in perspective.

Right...now I am in bed, and what I can say is as I was mulling my way upstairs is, that although there is a lot of fraking going on in this area..fraking does not cause eq's of this magnitude. However, I am willing to bet this is going to be pretty close to the New Madrid Fault line (alomg which the idiots are frakking!) so it could be related if not directly caused by...off for a scout round...bbs
