BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Ok, this weather theme is getting out of hand... Did anyone feel this? I didn't. It seems to have been centered near Short Gap. http://wusatv9.com:80/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=53285 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavefan64 10 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 More than likely a longwall panel settling around 1800 feet underground in either Buch. 1, or an old Island Creek mine..Nothing to be alarmed about..Probably shook some houses though..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The St. Claire fault line, which is large than the San Andres fault line in Cali, runs right down the heart of downtown Bluefield. It pretty much follows the railroad tracks through South Bluefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Can you imagine the damage if we had a real earthquake in this area? We don't have the building codes they have in California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavefan64 10 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 There are a lot of fault lines people don't realize..small ones that run through coal seams..Don't freak out though, it wasnt an Earthquake, just a HUGE coal bump. The last one that happened was when Buch. 1 caught on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
