Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Earthquake Map of Azores

I was on Terceira for 5 months in 1984/85 and saw many of the reconstruction efforts still ongoing. My wife, who grew up in Angra and experienced that earthquake, said it was terrifying and devastating. In the five years in was stationed on Terceira from 1987-92 we experienced a few

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Earthquake Map of Azores

Like you comments about the natural disasters. I grew up in R.I. and I heard many a story of the 1938 hurricane in my childhood.Some of my Portuguese relatives were involved with rescue efforts that year and loss. George Sent from my iPad On Jan 27, 2016, at 6:35 PM, Diana R G

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Earthquake Map of Azores

I don't think Terceria gets them like Sao Miguel and Faial, Pico and Sao Jorge. Someone showed me the fault lines and there is one right through Faial. In fact on the side of Pedro Miguel going into Horta there is a large gash in the mountain. There is a strange looking empty space where the

Earthquakes are more common than people realize. The App 'Earthquake' shows earthquakes around the world starting at 2 on the scale. As for the Azores it is something that is part of life. There are many ruined houses abandoned after the 1998 earthquake and they did have loss of life and injured.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Earthquake Map of Azores

I asked one of my students (an immigrant from Terceira) about earthquakes. She said she never felt one there! (She came to America a couple of years ago at the age of 11). I thought maybe they were really small and she didn't realize that they were earthquakes. Since I've grown up with

I know, John, it's just so interesting to see it like that. It really makes you feel small when you see the 'tippy-tops' of the Islands!! We all live on so little land above water when you really think about it. Rosemarie rcap...@gmail.com Researching Sao Jorge, Terceira, Graciosa, Faial and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Earthquake Map of Azores

*Another interesting fact, notice that there is a major fault angling down between the western group (Flores and Corvo) and the Central group (Faial east). The western group is on the North American Techtonic plate and has had less seismic activity in the past .* *John .* On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at
