Oh they are laying all over the ground just waiting for ya. That is a good question though.
Shake, rattle & roll!!
Deeper, there is an old gold prospector saying, "Every time it thunders, gold goes deeper". So I am guessing and earthquake will make them go deeper. Heck, I really don't know.New Jersey had a 4.8 earthquake this morning. I live just over the border in NY, I was outside at work and never felt a thing. My wife was home (5 miles away) and said it shook the house pretty good. My brother even felt it in Connecticut. Question is, did it shake the coins deeper into the ground or bring them closer to the surface?
I was told it was Lizzo, but I suppose either could shake the Richter scale
New construction is indeed tied down to the foundation around here, it's some of the colonial homes that lack proper support systems.
A whole lot! The farmers in eastern Arkansas have been at land leveling for rice farming for over 80 years…that will all be disrupted in a major earthquake, along with the destruction of 1000s of irrigation wells! Liquefaction will be the major effect and cause most of the ruination of the farmlands as well as interstate 40, the must highly traveled commerce road in the central USA. It will take 100s of billions of $ to replace all that is destroyed. We might even see the Mississippi River flow backwards like it did in 1812 or change its channel and screw up all the Corp of Engineers work of the past 100 years! Leaving New Orleans high and dry!
I think the Mississippi River has been wanting to divert down the Atchafalaya River for a while, and only the Army Corp of Engineers have stopped it. Maybe the big one will do the job.
You are correct, they nearly lost it in the major flood of 1923, they open the diversion dam and let quite a bit of that water run down the Atchafalaya, otherwise New Orleans would be high and dry!
