Your cabin tell you the tale, mr all caps?

The reality is far from what you claimed. Land displacement caused a few sections to flow the wrong direction for a matter of minutes/hours while the flow equalized.

Your post makes it sound like you could launch a raft in Louisiana and ride to Illinois lol

We literally got out of school because of that guy. I helped my grandma wrap her john Wayne plate collection in blankets so they wouldn't get broken in the earthquake, true story.

Then seeing posts like this on social media..


Well, there's your first mistake... taking seismological advice from some dude on social media.

I think the New Madrid's gonna be just fine.

Yes, a few portions. Not the whole river and certainly not for a week or days

Cats can't knock things off the ice ring. It's too high.

You rounders will believe anything.
