For 100+ years seismometers have measured ground motions at a point. Modern DAS arrays measure shaking along a line. A whole new dimension!

Friends who have experience with shaking intensity, if an earthquake reportedly "moved a huge stove 12", "moved many refrigerators", "threw a bookcase across the room," and slammed a man seated in an office chair into the opposite wall, what MMI does that suggest to you?

Almost forgot! 138 years since an earthquake rocked Charleston, SC, generating felt shaking west of the Mississippi River. Hard to imagine a less likely place for an active source zone than the Low Country. Still chapters to be written! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/tsr/articl…
