1
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Or is around.

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>This is the seventy seven WABC mini cast. This is

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a fascinating, very interesting subject and director through my doing

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 2>my own research before the heartbreak, which is in a

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>few minutes here, I'm wanting to mention that the highest

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 2>percentile of earthquake on the Richter scale, and you may

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>know this yourself, of course, in eighteen eighty four New

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 2>York City experienced an earthquake. In eighteen eighty nine, a

9
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>five point two on the Richter scale and the largest

10
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 2>in New York state. September the fourth, nineteen forty four,

11
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a five point eight measured earthquake in Messina, New York.

12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>And then just recently people were alarmed and you may

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>even know more about this on the on April fifth

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty four, a four point eight Richter scale

15
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>type event in the New York, New Jersey area. So

16
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 2>that's something not to take lightly correct.

17
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's absolutely correct. And there was a couple more

18
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>seventeen thirty seven, there was damage in New York. Four

19
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>those were the major ones where there was damage that

20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>occurred in the area there. And yes, and recently the

21
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey earthquake really brought to mind to people on

22
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the East coast. That earthquakes are not just a West

23
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Coast thing. They are more rare on the East coast,

24
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 1>but they can happen. There are more frequents, for example,

25
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>in the area near Charleston, New York, more quiet. And

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>there's also the whole New Matdered area that we can

27
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about. There's a lot of historic, historical earthquakes that occurred.

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>There are very large earthquakes, but yeah, New York in general,

29
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't expect as many and not as large.

30
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>So where would you say, looking at the map, we

31
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>got a moment here just before the break. Again, where

32
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>would be if you were looking to put your feet

33
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and build something. Is there a place in the continental

34
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>United States that is pretty much devoid of earthquake activity?

35
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>From your deep research and experience as one who studies this,

36
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>why where would that be? In general terms?

37
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 1>No, there's no such place really just a matter of degree.

38
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>But earthquakes can happen anywhere in the US. Again, they

39
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>are more frequent, of course on the west coast California, Oregon, Washington,

40
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and Arizona, and you know the region near New Madrid

41
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and near the Mississippi and all that. Charleston those are

42
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>the kind of the hot spots. But anywhere in the

43
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>US they can they can happen. You can expect to

44
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>have earthquakes and Hawaii of course and Alasta, yes.

45
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>And why because we're in that ring of fire, which

46
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>we don't have time for the moment to go into

47
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the test of it, but we will. And if you

48
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>just look at a map right, you'll see around the

49
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 2>rim of the Pacific Ocean is what the majority of

50
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the activity in the world. That's why they call it

51
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>ring of fire. That's interesting, and Johnny Cash didn't steal

52
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>that particular phrase, but in many times with eclipses that

53
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>are annular, they call it a ring of fire too,
