Earthquake here in Letcher Co. several years ago. Wife and I were sitting in tree stands deer hunting. We were 2 miles apart when I heard an explosion. I figured it was an underground mine. But, seconds later I felt it shaking. Wife was closer and she really got shook up in the tree. It wasn't a big one, but it was close. The biggest thing I took from it was the initial sound similar to an explosion.

Mom is from Alaska and several family members are still there so we see many FB posts about the aggravating earthquakes (some major ones) and aftershocks.

Go Cats! Tomorrow will give us a good idea about the rest of the season. Go Bulldogs and Bengals! I don't follow sports like I use to but this will be a good 3 days (if my 3 teams win). lol

Never been in an earthquake but this was the first article (from 2015) I just saw about it and mentions some Kentucky school kids as well as other states getting out of school for this...I was 9 years old at the time. I actually thought I was a couple years older when it happened, but I do remember that some guy predicted an earthquake and they taught us at school what to do in case of an earthquake several times. I can't say with certainty but I'm like 99 percent sure we actually got a day or two off from school cause of this. I didn't read the whole article so I'm not sure why the prediction was taken so seriously, but looking back that seems crazy to me.

25 Years After The Great Missouri Earthquake That Never Happened

On Dec. 3, 1990, an earthquake was supposed to level the small town of New Madrid, Missouri and become one of the biggest natural disasters the country had ever experienced. The ensuing mayhem — and quiet — instead brought fleeting attention to a high-risk seismic zone in the heart of America...

www.buzzfeednews.com

From the article:


The third day of December 1990 was a Monday, but schools in the small southeast Missouri town of New Madrid were closed.

In fact, some 40,000 students in portions of Missouri and surrounding states — Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana — had the day off, and some districts had canceled Tuesday and Wednesday as well. The reasons given by school officials varied. Some said the cancellations were made out of an abundance of caution, or in response to community pressure. Others said that even if schools had remained open, many kids would have been absent anyway, because their parents wanted to keep them at home, or had decided to leave the area. The closings had been announced weeks, in some cases even months, beforehand.

Reel foot lake was created by an earthquake in New Madrid around the start of the War of 1812. It was the largest earthquake to hit the U.S. in our history. The earthquake rang church bells in Boston.

The war of 1812 was started by the earthquake as Tecumseh had urged the Eastern tribes to attack the Europeans when the earth moved. (No one knows how he knew it was coming.) The earth moved and the Eastern Indian tribes, the British soldiers and government (located in Detroit and Canada) attacked. So Tecumseh's plan worked.

It was the start of the War of 1812.

Please read the book "The Frontiersmen" by Allen Eckert. It is worth the price.

It covers the early frontiersmen like Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, George Rogers Clark, Anthony Wayne, Simon Girty and William Henry Harrison and Tecuseh the Indian and guys like that. You find out how uncivil the British and Indians actually were. My family paid a heavy price for what the Brits and Indians actions against the frontiersmen did.

I have only read it about 4 times. Many of the names in that book are in my family.

Don't hear of Simon Kenton much. Ours is only county in US named for him. Then there's the HS, several streets/roads, and the bridge at Maysville. He's buried in Urbana, OH with a monument there.

My supper...


My Darling made this soup from baby back rib meat and turnip greens....

This is the first time My Darling cooked fish in our air fryer. That is Atlantic or Norwegian Mackerel... She cooks this a lot. Just adds a little salt I think and maybe a smidgeon of garlic and black pepper. (No oils) It is an oily fish but just other-worldly good. I am not a big eater of bone-in fish though I like fillets of many types. This comes out well... My Darling was super pleased as cooking the fish is normally done outside due to the smell but the air fryer never caused any noticeable odor. Amazing...

This was the BB's plate..(He loves green beans.). All I had was the soup, fish, and some rice.

Yes, I am thankful...

Anyone been in an earthquake? I was thinking back to sometime in 1969 or 70. I was walking a post in Turkey when the ground came rolling at me like an ocean wave. I don't know how high the ground got, but I was riding the wave as it passed through. At one point the ground was only an inch or 2 from my face and I did not fall. It happened and was gone so quickly, you didn't have time to get scared. They said the epicenter was a couple of hundred miles away and over a 1,000 people died.

I was in here in Muhlenberg Co. late 60's, I worked at a local pharmacy, shook some of the stuff we had on the shelves, weird feeling!!!!

Sir, was you tipsy? 😁

 

[BBUK]

I'm dying in my gut... I swiped this from the Sharpe dunk contest thread... Bust out laughing every time I think about it....

How does it go... but for the grace of God there go I....(Something to that effect...)😂😂😂😂😂😂 (I'd go too...)

For some strange reason I imagine wc during a major workout on his total gym....😁

(I didn't do it, blame Chuck...)

So that's what happened to Paradise.

 

[BBUK]

Sure glad I live a good "ways" from wc. 🙏

I "ain't" got the sense God gave a goose...

No. Mr. Peabody's coal train hauled it away.

Finished watching Fargo (the movie). Still one of my favorites.

Nah, that was my normal wake up call during my Army days. Needed the extra push after those hard nights of partying. With reveille blasting and a hot cup of coffee on the night stand.

OK! I'M UP!, I'M UP!

 

[warrior-cat]

Wake up Legionnaires! It's time for your exam.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

I'm not saying today is a must win by any stretch...it is only Jan. 7th, but this is a game if the Cats are going to turn it around could be one of those games. We just gutted out a close victory (closer than it should have been) against LSU...if we beat Bama the Cats could really start to get some confidence. I don't think we are going to win, I don't have much confidence in them right now...lack of confidence more aimed at the coach than the players.

I hope they surprise me. Gawd I hope we see the Toppin that played against LSU. Kentucky is currently a 5.5 point underdog.

Good Morning D

Cold weather continues this morning. It is 37° with plenty of sunshine to come. That will move the temperature up to a high of 69° by midafternoon with a 0% chance of rain.

Last night was Friday Night at the Movies at my house and we watch an old one I have seen many time but not recently. "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". Great music and some funny scenes.

A good companion movie is "Down From The Mountain"

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 25° and mostly sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 49°.

Have a great day.

The TV series is pretty good as well, especially the first couple of seasons.

Let's don't and say we did....

That's GOT to be racist...😅

 

[UK82]

I liked the first season but my wife didn't. I might watch season 2 on my own.

 

[berniecarbo]

About all I'm watching on TV these days is reruns of Gunsmoke and an occasional western, mostly John Wayne.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League. Sunny and mild in the east. Out walking before the sun came up. It’s been a beautiful morning.

Big day for the Cats today. No prediction but it is an opportunity to really get the season back on track.

My son heads back to Lexington today for his last semester. He worked hard and got all As but one last semester, and is determined to finish strong.

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning all,

A bagel with cream cheese and butter along with coffee and coconut milk (unsweetened) really sets a cup of coffee off well. (Until I tire of it...)

My Darling and I are heading to the commissary shortly, then plan to make our rounds to the markets.

Have a great day and Go Cats!!!

(The BB in tow...)

Bought some brown eggs (18 pack carton) at the commissary yesterday at Sill and it was $8.00 for the carton. Prices pretty high there now too.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Another nice catch of shrimp out of the Gulf. This dock is in Tarpon and these will go to Pelican Pointe Seafood Market and various restaurants on the sponge docks. Good eating and some big uns.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Feeling like a good railroad song. I am not really Blue and Lonesome Too but I like the sound of a mandolin and the fiddle of Alison Krauss

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Go Cats!!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Time to play ball. This is an important one.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

My gawd...we are awful.

 

[UK82]

I didn't expect a win today but I did think the Cats would be more competitive. Really need a Top 25 victory. I will say that Bama has all the pieces to make a deep run in March. Still hoping for a comeback but this team isn't really built for that.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

One announcer said our offense was not the problem. We are down 20.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Now down 31

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Pitiful. 🤬

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Had to hit a three at the buzzer to get over 50 points...pathetic. I'm so ready to get Cal's ass out of Kentucky.

 

[UK82]

Next Saturday in Knoxville won't be any easier.

 

[BBUK]

Bought some brown eggs (18 pack carton) at the commissary yesterday at Sill and it was $8.00 for the carton. Prices pretty high there now too.

The meat is at decent prices. (Fort Belvoir) We bout some chuck eye steaks at about $4.50 (Maybe less a pound.) Good steaks too. Bought some beef ribs at 3 something a pound, the kalbi beef or however you spell it. Yeah, we bought 3 dozen eggs as well. Brown, I think right at $4.00 a dozen.

The housing is what is so stupid here along with the auto (usage taxes)

 

[Sawnee Cat]

At least we didn't lose by 30. Looking for a ray of sunshine in a storm.

 

[BBUK]

MAN, just looked at the score. I would have turned it off if I had been watching it. Is Oscar okay???

Oscar got exposed. He can not play in the NBA so he may as well hang around and maybe think about playing in Africa after college.

it was painful to watch.

Sir,

Not to beat a dead horse but those Shrimp are so large some of them may have gizzards... 😁
