Some good info on the unstable geology of the St. Francois mountain region
Aerial Geologist: St. Francois Mountains Trip - Missouri
The Shut-Ins are a result of the East Fork Black River eroding down through the originally overlying sedimentary layers (which are easily eroded) and eventually hitting the igneous rock below, which is more resistant to erosion. Due to this resistance, a "shut-ins" occurs, or a section of stream which is channeled through a narrow gorge.
We were told to watch when it steps up to 3's and 4's on the New Madrid.

Just to let you know after reading this last night, I was in a panic. My youngest and his wife are in Mexico for a wedding and then were going to tour. I didn't know where he was. Thank God, last night I heard from him and he's on the other coast in Tulum now. The wedding was on the West Coast so I didn't know. Prayers for the people affected by this!

Neither here nor there.
When the core of the earth dies, then there will be truly extinct volcanoes. There's one in New Mexico that's supposed to be extinct and surprise, surprise, magma suddenly started moving under the so called extinct volcanic complex. Ditto the so called extinct volcano in Utah.

My brother got back to me. He felt the quake. These are his words...

Transformers shorting out as wires sway and touch, and then the outage propagates along the circuit from transformer to transformer. Saw that happen up close in southern California back in the late1980s when a quake hit shortly after sundown and we were outside.
