Mysterious shaking puzzles experts in Morristown, TN- damages homes
Posted on February 15, 2013 by The Extinction Protocol
February 15, 2013 – MORRISTOWN, TN - Late
Tuesday afternoon dozens of concerned neighbors called Hamblen County
911 to report the earth shaking and the sound of a large blast. At first
the US Geological Survey reported there was no earthquake in the area.
That prompted local emergency management officials to spend Wednesday
looking at other options. 10News spoke with TDEC (Tennessee Department
of Environmental Conservation) who ruled out fracking or quarry
activity. Then, we checked with the University of Memphis Center for
Earthquake Research and Information, sponsored by the USGS. Geologist
Gary Patterson went and pulled the records from sensors on Tuesday and
says he could see activity consistent with an earthquake or quarry
blasting. Emergency Managment Agency Director Chris Bell says there was
no licensed blasting in the Hamblen County area on Tuesday. 10News also
confirmed with the area’s only quarry, Vulcan Materials, which say no
blasting happened yesterday. Patterson says the activity shows up over a
large area with sensors reporting vibrations in Copper Ridge, Avondale
Springs, Green Top, and Lonesome, VA. He says the USGS doesn’t have a
lot of sensors in that area which may have resulted in the automated
system’s failure to report the activity. Patterson says they need more
time to investigate, but either an earthquake or quarry blasting could
solve the ‘Morristown Mystery.’ –Dig Triad
