This story is rather unnerving. I’ve heard stories about the earthquake of 1812 — it rang church bells in Boston from its epicenter along the Mississippi River along Tennessee — and don’t expect a repeat of it to be exactly pleasant. It would be interesting to watch this story and see how exactly the pressure is building up, if the scientists can figure it out any time soon.
