Earthquake rocks Ohio city that sits on top ancient fault line

An earthquake measuring a 3.1 magnitude has hit outside the capital city of Ohio.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the tremor 77 miles east of Columbus at 3:14pm ET.

The region sits atop an ancient fault line, a pre-existing weakness in the Earth's crust that can be reactivated by tectonic stress, making it more prone to earthquakes.

The USGS shows 'weak' to 'light' shaking was felt around the epicenter in Cambridge.

Another earthquake hit the same around on Tuesday, also measuring a 3.1 magnitude.

An assessment from Michigan Tech University showed that people typically do not feel quakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or less.

Those from 2.5 to 5.4 are often felt but only cause minor damage.

However, no injuries or damages have been reported following Thursday's quake.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Earthquakes in Texas. Earthquakes in Ohio. America is on the move ... to somewhere.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

How about New Madrid? When it starts shaking again let me know.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

3.1?  Hell I've been shook harder by those machines at the Holiday Inn that took quarters.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

In January, eastern New England experienced a mild 3.8 shaker centered off York, Maine.

Eastern New England is a big crumple zone of old faults due to its history of tectonic collisions.

The Great Lakes are prone to intra-plate tectonic stresses as well as ground expansion as a result of the retreat of the Laurentide Glacier of the last ice age.

America is on the move, but not all pieces move at the same speed.
