Have scientists considered the possibility of a Missouri kaiju stirring in its sleep?

Every time i watch something about volcanos i remember my older brother telling me when i was about three that volcanos were how the earth farted.

Hanks curly era, im all for it! :)

That's awesome your hair is going back to normal.... You should see Paul Brodies hair after his treatments. It went from curly to poofy and he says it's a different texture too.... So cool to see so many people being treated for cancers and getting better, it makes me confident in the treatments. Keep up the great work Hank and Sci Show crew... 😊❤

The magnitude of these events is genuinely awe-inspiring. It almost grants a new perspective on the grand timeline of our planet.

🎵 we didn’t start the fire. It was always burning 🎵 😉

I always love talking to people about New Madrid. My university was in the areas that have those earthquakes (though there were apparently aftershocks all the way up to Peoria from one when I was younger) and me and one of my music profs spent more time talking about that in one of my lessons than we did music related things.

Good to see you looking so well Hank. Great episode, a bunch of new facts I'd not heard of before.

I love that you touched on the New Madrid earthquakes and the sheer weirdness of the fault zone, it is what got me into geology. Interestingly enough, most of the zone is in the path of totality, and I want to try to make it to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, just north of New Madrid

Eons call out! Love crossovers 🦖

My husband and I will be along the path of the eclipse. Texarkana(35 minutes from us) is trying to get some tourism into town with it. So we should be able to see it from the park on the Texas side.(Note here texarkana is actually a town split along the Arkansas and Texas borders for anyone interested)

There's a lot of channels/videos out there that will lure me in with an interesting premise, then faff about for 10+ minutes before actually addressing the point of interest. This video saved the two-century earthquake till the end, but everything discussed leading up to that was interesting and worth the time. Thank you for continuing to run such a cool channel! I'm really happy to see your treatment is going well!

Hi Hank! Who knew natural disasters could be so... generational?
@haroldjones8521 4 months ago

I was born and lived my first 14 years just a few miles to the north of New Madrid. We experienced a lot of tremors then (the '50s and '60s). Our farm was one of the places that the earthquake refugees fled to. Unfortunately it was an abysmal swamp, freezing in the winter and filled with malaria laden mosquitoes. Thanks for pronouncing New Madrid and Missouri correctly.

This episode made me think of something really cool. You guys should do an episode or two on the "Most Beautiful places on Earth, and the science behind them." You could send some of your team to vacation in those areas too and do some field research. It might be a pretty amazing video and give a lot of people some ideas on places to visit too.

Hello Hank, Hope you're all doing well at SciShow

When talking about the New Madrid fault line's really bad earthquake, SciShow could've mentioned that the Mississippi River altered it's course and flowed backwards for a bit of time as well...along with church bells as far away as Boston ringing. I would love for SciShow to do an episode about the worst ever earthquake to hit North America, The Alaska Earthquake. I think it occurred in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
