[Rockhounds] Connecticut earthquake

[The Hammer]

Larry,

Thank you for sharing that info, as it's something that I'm interested in, and I simply would not have know about this quake without your email.  Looks like I can tweak my page at http://hammerron.com/quakes.htm a bit (slowly compiling info on Connecticut quake related info)

-Ron

Subject: [Rockhounds] Connecticut earthquake

An 
unusual 
event 
last 
evening, 
near 
Chester, 
CT. 
A 
magnitude 
2.0 
tremor. 
This 
is 
very 
near 
the 
site 
in 
Moodus 
where 
there 
have 
been 
many 
episodes 
of 
"Moodus 
noises"
reported 
from 
the 
time 
of 
the 
Native 
americans 
to 
the 
present.

Californians 
(and 
others) 
may 
consider 
this 
a 
non-event, 
but 
it's 
a 
"biggie" 
for 
us!

For 
some 
interesting 
folklore 
and 
mysticism, 
see

http://www.curbstone.org/index.cfm?webpage=96

Google 
("Moodus 
noises") 
has 
many 
listings 
of 
the 
factual 
geologic 
conditions 
contributing 
to 
the 
quake.
