We use Quake Hold. And yes it works! I just priced it at a m a z o n and found that ACE hardware had the best price. If your local store does not have it on the half you can order it in the store and they call you when it arrives. You do have to prepay for it.

These catastrophic maps of America disfigured would reflect several cataclysmic disasters over time, like Seismic/Volcanic, Asteroid/Comet and a possible sudden pole shift.

The problem with predictions/prophecies is severity and more importantly...timing.

-Some or all could happen in the near future.
-Or take a very long time from now to happen...in which case becomes never in our lifetime.

Here are some recent discussions on the New Madrid activity though.

CIA Classified Book about the Pole Shift, Mass Extinctions and The True Adam & Eve Story (27min)​

Jan 12, 2023
CIA Classified Book about the Pole Shift, Mass Extinctions and The True Adam & Eve Story In 1966 a well-known engineer released a book with information that could impact everyone on earth. But before anyone could read it, it was classified by the CIA. We only learned of its existence a few years ago because of a Freedom of Information request. The CIA only released 57 pages of the original 284-page manuscript. And those pages have been, in the CIA's own words, "sanitized". Why does the CIA think this book is so dangerous that they had to hide it from the public for 60 years; and continue to hide most of it? It's because the man who wrote it describes the end of the world.

Saved, to glorify God.
If that was a 4.8 quake it was as deep as they ever get.
If it was not extremely deep, it was a much stronger earthquake. Period..

They are saying it was only +/-3miles deep?
I'm calling BS on the reporting of this event!

Hard to believe a 4.7 was felt over such a wide area. Sounds like there is more to it than meets the eye.

Nope, nothing suspicious here... most of the east coast all the way to the Mississippi River sits atop a HUGE granite slab, so when a smallish quake happens, in this case a 4.9, on the east coast it's felt through out most of the east coast into eastern Ohio and as far south as Alabama. A big quake, 6.0 or larger and we might feel it here in Iowa.

'I remember the last big quake we had in Delaware. It was the summer when I beat up Corn Pop. I had just stepped off the train from DC that ran via the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it hit.

The beams of the railroad station roof let out a POP and started to sag and commuters on the station platform feared for their lives. But I was young and strong, so I stepped up to the sagging beam, put my hands on it and let out a mighty groan as I lifted it up and stood there alone.

32 commuters could flee for their lives that day and I held up that roof until the brought in a crane to haul it away. And everyone in Delaware knows the legend of Big Joe."

Big Joe. Big Joe. Big Jo-oh. Big Bad Joe.

I notice that's just like the one we had in Georgia some time ago.

The epicenter was actually in Alabama (near Fort Payne) & happened on April 29, 2003.

I'd been up late working on a college paper (renewing my teaching certificate) and was just getting ready to go to bed and catch a few winks before the day's work began (the boys then were little--10, 8, and 6). It was about 5 am (EASTERN time; but in Ft Payne it was 4 am).

I was walking down the hall to our bedroom when I began to hear a long, continuous ringing sound--and discovered it was coming from a little square metal / glass candleholder on a hall bookshelf. I wondered what could be causing it to vibrate, so I reached out to touch it--and jerked my hand back like it had been burned, for the whole 6-foot-tall bookshelf was vibrating like a living thing. Then I began to hear, faint and far-off at first but growing louder every second, a long, low, dull roar, like some large train approaching the house, only deeper and more intense.

Then the approaching roar "hit" the house--and the whole house began moving.

It was only a 4.6---but with the granite bedrock that overlays all of north Georgia and Alabama, the solid rock was transmitting the wave with hardly any loss of intensity.

You hear it coming--and then it HITS.

The 2003 Alabama earthquake took place on April 29 at 3:59 A.M. Central Daylight Time (local time when the event occurred) eight miles (13 km) east-northeast of Fort Payne, Alabama.[1][2] The number of people who felt this quake was exceptionally high as the earthquake could be felt in 11 states across the East Coast and as far north as southern Indiana.[3] The earthquake was strongly felt throughout metropolitan Atlanta.[4] The Georgia Building Authority was called out to inspect the historic Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta and other state-owned buildings but found no problems. However, this is not out of the ordinary as earthquakes east of the Rocky Mountains can be felt several times the area felt on West Coast earthquakes. The earthquake was given a magnitude 4.6 on the moment magnitude scale by the USGS (other sources reported as high a magnitude as 4.9) and reports of the duration of the shaking range from 10 seconds to as long as 45 seconds. It is tied with a 1973 earthquake near Knoxville, Tennessee as the strongest earthquake ever to occur in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, which is the second most active seismic zone east of the Rocky Mountains, with the New Madrid Seismic Zone the most active.[5]

The April 29 earthquake caused moderate damage in northern Alabama including a 29-foot (8.8 m) wide sinkhole northwest of Fort Payne. The quake disrupted the local water supply. There were numerous reports of chimney damage, broken windows, and cracked walls, particularly around the area near Hammondville, Mentone and Valley Head, Alabama. Many 9-1-1 call centers were overloaded with worrisome and panicked residents, who thought it was a train derailment, a bomb, or some other type of explosion that had awakened them. There were several aftershocks, all of magnitude 2.0 or lower, and were not widely felt.[2]
