Hi hollander! So nice to shmooze with oldtime amigas. Yah, New Madrid was special in that the geology of eastern USA is a very efficient acoustic transmitter, and earthquakes are essentially acoustic events. Tohse annoying punx with their kilowatt car stereos with banks of woofers going boom boom ... should roll over in submission to a real shake'm-up. But why am I not surprised - they will not learn. Perhaps the way-coolest feature of the New Madrid event cluster was the way there were several really large quakes separated by hours to weeks. Kinda gives the lie to the intuitive idea that the fault zone was all used up after the first big shock. Or the second. Or the third. Eep.
