Earthquake possibility scares some students from Missouri
Bv Mike Brassfield
The prediction of an earthquake today in southeastern Missouri has some KU students from that area nervous about the safety of their families. Others, however, are ignoring the prediction.
Iben Browning, a New Mexico biologist and business consultant, said there was a 50-percent chance of a major earthquake today in the New Madrid area of Missouri, about 150 miles southeast of St. Louis.

The New Madrid fault was the site of three earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 that were some of the strongest in U.S. history.
"I'm getting pretty nervous about it," said Julie Hagenhoff, St. Louis senior. "I think it's definitely going to work." If does, St. Louis is going to be trashed."
Hagenhoff said her parents were preparing for an earthquake by filling empty bottles with water and putting the bottles in case their water pipes broke.
"My little brother and sister aren't going to school," she said. "My dad says his office building is earthbound and can't work to work But I wish he would!"
Missy Blankemeyer, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore, said she thought
"When I was home for Thanksgiving, all the meteorologists on TV were making fun of him," she said. "They were throwing 300 feet of snow for tomorrow."
few people were taking Browning's prediction seriously.
Rob Lochner, St. Louis senior, said people in eastern Missouri were buying power generators and kerosene lamps to prepare for an earthquake.
"I don't think it's really going to happen," he said. "But St Louis is known for its ice storms and power storms, so we are prepared for other things as well."
"My mom isn't worried about it at all," he said. "My dad wanted to buy one of those $000 power generators, but she wouldn't let him."
Do Steele, a seismologist at the Kansas Geological Survey based at KU, said the prediction was absurd.
The tidal forces on which Browning based his prediction are at least 10,000 times too small to cause an earthquake at the depths where earthquakes occur in the Midwest, he said.
Browning's forecast has been taken seriously because news reports have credited him with a number of accurate predictions, including last year's Oct. 17 earthquake south of San Francisco, Steeples said.
I'm getting pretty nervous about it. I think it's definitely going to happen, and when it does, St. Louis is going to be trashed.

”
But he said that according to the National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, a group representing the U.S. government, Browning's prediction stated that on or before June 2015 probably would be several earthquakes around the world and maybe a volcanic eruption or two.
”
"He made no mention of California, or even of North America." Steeple said. "This hardly constitutes successful prediction of an earthquake, especially given that during an average week, a few earthquakes of Richter magnitude 6 or greater occur somewhere in the
Rick Miller, geophysicist at the
survey, said the chances of a major earthquake occurring in the New Madrid area today were about one in 10,000. Another earthquake there on any day.
Miller said that even if there was a major earthquake in southeastern Missouri, it would do little or no damage in Lawrence.
Jim Fender, insurance agent for Farmers Insurance Group, 2108 W. 27th St., said that about 30 percent of the Lawrence homeowners insured by his company bought earthquake insurance in the past month.
"They're not taking it all that seriously," he said. "They're just playing it safe. Besides, it's cheap."
Earthquake insurance for a $90,000 home in Lawrence costs about $8 a year, he said.
Fender said he sold at least 90 percent of the earthquake insurance policies about two weeks ago, just after a movie, titled "The Big One," about an earthquake in Los Angeles was broadcast on network television.
"I must have gotten 18 phone calls before 10 in the morning the day after that movie was shown," he said. "They were all asking for quake insurance. And I've sold at least two policies a day since then."
