This Connecticut town has had mysterious booms and mini-earthquakes for centuries

Move over, global warming, there’s another explanation for earthquakes; it’s no less scientific than our currently accepted science, and all our best politicians and media masters will soon be promulgating it..

Last week’s 4.8-magnitude earthquake was nothing new for East Hampton, Connecticut.

The small town south of Hartford, is the center of a geological mystery brought on by centuries of strange seismic activity unique to the area.

The town’s landscape is nothing out of the ordinary but the area is prone to explosive sounds and aggressive vibrations that have mystified its residents for centuries.

… Named after the village of Moodus that lies within East Hampton, the area is different from earthquake-prone areas like California that sit on major fault lines known to frequently rumble.

Instead, Moodus — the name abbreviates the native Algonquin phrase “place of bad noises” — lies above a much more tectonically boring zone in the middle of a plate.

In the 18th century, Puritans thought these rumblings and boom-like tones were the devil.
