It was a 3.6:

And no worries, it was just a 200 year aftershock from the big quakes circa 1812- 1813.

in that case all the earthquakes thats under 5.0 in the California must mean something is about to happen right?

3.6 omg

In my opinion, anywhere that has activity, is a threat on the alignment of the planets and baby Elenin. Lol

Thursday September 22 2011, 23:07:04 UTC 49 minutes ago Tonga 6.8 41.0

There was also a 6.8 in Tonga 50 minutes ago, although that spot gets a lot of large quakes from what I've seen this year.

Hmm I thought we kinda collectively agreed no more quake reports unless they are of signifigant magnitude. I mean these "earthquakes" you speak of are NOT ANYTHING NEW! I mean really? A 3.6 mag is reportable, I dont think anybody would agree come on. New madrid or not it makes not a difference!

Please don't make me throw up and run off somewhere.

Wow, that's a huge quake, did they bring in FEMA to mitigate the damages?

I have been going to usgs for a while now. Its a couple days before the alignment and I live in St. Louis. Of course I'm going to care about it. Plus an interesting thing i just found. Go back and look at the Colorado and DC quakes. Then place a point directly in the middle of the two quakes and see where it comes up.

lol threads like this should be in the comedy section

Ahh
i see whats going on here you are linking this with the "alignment" with a comet? LMAO Just another elenin thread incognito lol. How many times must people be told ALIGNMENTS WITH COMETS DO NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES?Lol good luck I hope you all are safe in st,louis but personally living there I would be more worried about being murdered than an alignment. Oh well to each his own carry on
oh I see from your massive post count you are not actively on ATS to know how many times this dead horse has been beaten

St.Louis has a high murder rate, good lord. It's madness, sheer madness. Elenin is about to drive me into a frenzy.

Wow you guys are merciless.

Doesn't the New Madrid zone really not have many quakes of that size? That would make it noteworthy in my mind.

Thanks for posting OP.

I'm trying to laugh off the fear dude, there is just no where to run. This is noteworthy.
