And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A California style earthquake would knock all that brick down.
@John: The Yellowstone Caldera, which measures in circumference about a quarter of the distance from Washington D.C. to Boston, and is by itself about the exact size of the entire state of Rhode Island, would like to have a word with you.
Although Telluride and Sheridan are several hundred miles apart, they are on the same longitudinal axis. Earthquakes are fairly non-existent in the Central Rockies.
In August 1959, a magnitude 7.5/7.3 earthquake hit just north of Yellowstone on the Madison river. That may have been the closest large quake to Telluride in recent times. I do not know what effects were felt locally for that quake.

A New Madrid type quake would knock everything down and then flood it.
ReplyDeleteBased on the hotel name, I am guessing that this is Sheridan, Wyoming and the chances of an earthquake are slim to none.
ReplyDeleteLook up Yellowstone earthquakes (and volcanoes)
DeleteYellowstone is about the same distance from Sheridan as Boston is to Washington, DC... maybe a bit closer.
DeleteNot Sheridan, WY. We’ve been there. No mountains like those around there.
DeleteIt's Telluride. John is conflating the Sheridan Hotel in Sheridan with the New Sheridan Hotel in Telluride. A simple image search confirms this.
DeleteI get it. It's in Colorado and not Wyoming.
DeleteAnnie 12:27 wanted to talk about Yellowstone. I replied. End of story.

I think this is in Telluride, CO. Earthquake potential is low.
ReplyDeleteTis Telluride.

DeletePhilo Before would feel right at home.
ReplyDeleteThat's Bedoe. Auto correct is whack.

ReplyDeleteTelluride is almost 700 miles from Yellowstone. A ten hour drive.
DeleteAll these comments and nobody pointing out that Cornbinder bad-to-the-bare-bones, Goodness parked at the curb.
ReplyDeleteProbably still in the area and still running
DeleteSee Quake Lake, just outside of Yellowstone. Plenty of info. Swell campground just outside the West side. U.S.F.S.
