Are you ready for the Big One?

The month of February is being designated as Earthquake Preparedness Month in Kentucky. Many may not realize that Kentucky is in a region with multiple seismic stress points referred to as “geologic faults” or “seismic zones.” The New Madrid Seismic Zone is the largest and most famous in this region. It was the site of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history in the winter of 1811-1812. Over the last one hundred years, New Madrid has given birth to thousands of minor tremors that were too light to feel and a few small earthquakes which only rattled dishes or cracked a few foundations in areas close to the “epicenter” or location of the quake. Seismologists feel that we are overdue for an earthquake which would devastate a good portion of the western half of Kentucky and our neighbor states within the seismic zone. Unlike weather forecasting, earthquake detection is not an exact science and we will likely have little or no notice of a coming major earthquake. Click Here For Full Story
