[The area has suffered two historic landslides, in 1790 and 1997. Trying to comprehend the SCALE of this 2026 event is difficult, but the inline video in the 3rd (media) link does give an indication.]

For my #architecture, structural + #geotechnical engineering people who have anxiety over poorly conceived & built homes.

Let’s play guess-the-amount-it-was-listed for!!
I’m shocked if this can even get #insurance coverage. #housing #ky

[takes me back to my engineering geology days in the Southern Hemisphere, including my thesis – with a healthy dose of spatial analysis and modeling – and all with a specific use; what is not to like?]

[This is ‘unusual’ seismic activity and shaking patterns for this part of the USA, on an ‘unmapped’ fault, and seemingly challenging existing models of earthquake risk in the region; while a 4.8 is not big, it must have been quite a surprise for the people in this heavily populated U.S. Northeast not used to such things (per the paper, the USGS estimated it was felt by some 42 million people.]
