I’m curious to see if we’ll get one. Every total solar eclipse in the last 100 years, within 18 months, a major 7.0 or larger quake as occurred somewhere along the eclipse path. Including a couple years back.
Now, what those all have in common, those paths were over very active fault lines. This eclipse is over the New Madrid fault line, infact, it covers over most of it. The scary part is the largest known earthquake in this area happened just months after the last time it was in the path of a total solar eclipse. And coincidentally, the last time a 5.0 or larger quake has occurred along the new Madrid fault. So this one gives the chance to see if that holds true.
