4.4 Richters Earthquake Struck Tennessee Between Knoxville, and Chattanooga Early Wednesday!!!

THIS entry may have been too late for that big 4.4 Tennessee Earthquake early on Wednesday!!! But here it is now anyways!!! We are talking MORE SNOW and must now report that they'll be getting or possibly getting some shaking as the result ! (Because we KNOW they got some at this point and too late to edit any of this) With normally TWO FEET having been the yard stick we had been using so ONE FOOT will probably do as far as alerts beginning from this one!!! Formerly the winds and cold, too, but. . . . . some examples including Eureka 2010 and Great 1964 Alaska Earthquake. THAT was all written up for yesterdays EQ Blog, but unfortunately due to not having it all written up, I never wrote up and posted the part about maybe we should watch those areas where they got ALL THAT SNOW!!! Because they tend to get earthquakes there. . . and then those lead to more shaking at the Tectonic Plate Boundaries. And that is probably what is going to happen next so remember that in case I don't get back to that subject in the near future, because an alert for California and our West Coast might be in order right now!!!

Here's a link to a great story about early Wednesday's 4.4 Richters Tennessee Earthquake@ https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Rumbles-felt-in-East-Tennessee-502550832.html

Here's the USGS Report on this one, although I don't see "Knoxville" so I'll just round the milage off and add it here, although not a part of the original report:

Felt Report currently at over 9000 will be forthcoming, but includes areas around Chicago, St. Louis, Canada, and up into Massachusetts, along with a lot of them from Knoxville. . . of course!!!

Look at the list of nearby places here. . . Hanga Roa is also known as "Easter Island":

6.3 - Pacific-Antarctic Ridge
2018-12-12 13:13:58 55.922°S 128.215°W 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places
2195 Miles NNE Hanga Roa, Valparaíso, Chile
2235 Miles ESE Puerto Natales, Magallanes, Chile
2246 Miles ESE Punta Arenas, Magallanes, Chile
2287 Miles ESE Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
2360 Miles ESE Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, Argentina

THIS one struck up there at the recent Anchornage Epicenter, look at the list of nearby places tells it all, although no felt reports from this remote area, there:

3.2 - 5km NW of Big Lake, Alaska
2018-12-13 01:05:19 61.483°N 150.012°W 19.6 km depth

Nearby Places
3.3 Miles NE of Big Lake, Alaska, United States
13 Miles E. of Knik-Fairview, Alaska, United States
18.5 Miles SE of Eagle River, Alaska, United States
18.7 mi) SSE of Anchorage, Alaska, United States
503 mi) E. of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

Alerts remain for Rwanda, Angola, Lima Peru, and Bangkok, and the alert for movement around the Pacific Tectonic Plate has two dates coming and those are December 18 to the 21st due to the correlation with the Haiti Earthquake!!! So if nothing else there is that day number correlation that's always worth something!!!

Still in the works is the search for more happening around the days of the previous BIG Tennessee Earthquake, a 4.7 that struck in 1973 and looks like it might have been related to a Thanksgiving Day Blizzard, but I'll need some time to get all that info together!!! Until then it's possible the ends of the North American Tectonic Plate will be moving and Haiti, California, and West Coast are all in those regions!!! Be Watching!!!
