The modeled hypocenter of the tiny earthquake just now was 7.5 km directly below the zoo: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc73865490/executive.
This reminds me of how, if I recall, the HayWired scenario put its nominal epicenter on some random private property. You have to wonder how the people who live there felt about that, and what it might have done to their property value.
(Another one as I was typing this.)
@allafarce @vruba - no, the epicenter location had been decided before my involvement began in 2016 - that would have been done on a purely technical basis, and would not be chosen with any ill intent, such as you’ve asked about - I’d be surprised if there was any negative impact, based on how little we’ve seen property values change for real-world, much less hypothetical, earthquake info - finally, sorry for the delay - I need to visit here more often
@kwh @allafarce Really interesting! Thank you for clarifying. And I certainly wouldn’t have expected any ill intent.
