It was vrey dark here for a little more than two and 1/2 minutes. There was no air movement during that time, and not surprisingly the birds stopped singing. But there were no other noticeable side effects. Certainly no eartquake ---thankfully.

EPIC EVENTS IN OUR BACK YARD
The link below is to an image of the paths of the total Solar eclipses of 2017 and 2024. The X happens to mark a spot a few miles from the epicenter of the largest known earthquake ever in the US, the New Madrid quake of 1812. We're told that a large quake, 8 to 9 0n the Richter scale, has happened about every 200 years in this area according to geological evidence. Will the combined gravitational pull of the earth and sun lined up in a total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 be enough to trigger the next one? Incidentally, we live about the same distance from the center of the X as the epicenter of the New Madrid Missouri quake of 1812, well within the paths of both solar eclipses! We have a front row seat to view the 2 minute and 40 second maximum eclipse on August 21, and we're only a few miles from the New Madrid fault. Would you be excited, or scared?

Just an aside, Ed - Superstition has it that it's believed pregnant women who are in the presence of a total eclipse could cause their baby to have facial deformities or birth marks. Well, I and my then wife watched one near Voi in Kenya, just prior to the birth our son, in 1980 (and who later figured importantly during my mystical-initiation of the same year) without taking heed of this warning - Fortunately, for us all and no doubt thanks to the Ultimate Force, he only ended up with a small 'ecliptic' blemish on one ear! ��
