Quake rocks Washington area, felt on East Coast, AP, August 23, 2011:
A 5.9 magnitude earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va., shook much of Washington, D.C., and was felt as far north as Rhode Island, New York City and Martha’s Vineyard, Mass [...]
It was centered near Louisa, Va., which is northwest of Richmond and south of Washington. [...]
The East Coast gets earthquakes, but usually smaller ones and is less prepared than California or Alaska for shaking. [...]

This is near me. That plant -North Anna- has a bad record of leaks, EPA violations, Fed. court injunctions, state negligence, even a glowing Lake Anna w/ radioactive fish, by folklore. (I’ve seen it, too!-yikes)
It was a strange, unexpected, but pretty strong quake. Things fell down from the walls. But, everything seems OK now–no loss of power. Another odd, but phenomenally pretty day here…
My first thought was… NORTH ANNA!!!
It’s a time bomb as it is.

Link between HAARP earth-penetrating tomography technology and earthquakes.
http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=1610
Haarp Tomography Induced Seismicity
http://wn.com/HAARP_Tomography_Induced_Seismicity
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an investigation project jointly funded by the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the University of Alaska and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The United States Congressional records show that HAARP is funded by the US government. The U.S. Senate set aside $15 million dollars in 1996 (Clinton administration) to develop the ability to penetrate the earth with signals bounced off of the ionosphere. This earth-penetrating-tomography has since been developed and used by the US government to look inside the planet to a depth of many kilometers in order to locate underground munitions, minerals and tunnels. The problem is that the frequencies used by HAARP for earth-penetrating tomography is also within the frequency range most cited for disruption of earth’s own electromagnetic field.
HAARP patents states that HAARP can beam radio energy into the Auroral electrojet, the curved, charged-particle stream formed at high latitudes where the solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. The radio energy then disperses over large areas through ductlike regions of the ionosphere, forming a virtual antenna that can be thousands of miles in length.
Such an ELF antenna can emit waves penetrating as deeply as several kilometers into the ground, depending on the geological makeup and subsurface water conditions in a targeted area. HAARP uses ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to beam pulses of polarized high-frequency radio waves into the ionosphere. These pulses can be finely tuned and adjusted so that the bounced ground penetrating beam can target a very specific area and for a specific length of time. Beaming a very large energy beam into the ground for an extended period can cause an earthquake. After all, an earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic wave resonances. The same array of antennas that are used by HAARP for ground penetrating tomography can also be used to penetrate deep into the ground and cause an earthquake anywhere around the World.
Geophysical events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions – the kinds of things that may already be on the edge of discharge – can, with the right resonant energies added into the system, cause them to overload and actually fracture. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen actually made the statement regarding weapons of mass destruction and the idea of generating earthquakes artificially. In a April 28, 1997 DoD News Briefing at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy at the Georgia Center, Mahler Auditorium, University of Georgia, Athens, Ga. Cohen stated: “Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.”

It just predicts earthquakes and disaster response. It doesn’t talk about causes. I’m not postulating the cause of the earthquake in Virginia. I’m just answering your assertion that HAARP is for the unscientific. On the contrary, it is very scientific.
The real point here is that nuclear power plants are unsafe especially when they are over 20 to 30 years old, and when built on a fault. The Lake Anna plant was only purported to be built to sustain a 6.9 earthquake. 40 years later is it even more prone to suffer earthquake damage.
The other point is that is never should be allowed to operate when anyone lives closer than 50 miles from the plant.
HAARP is not a ghost story.

I say why not. Our ability to gather many diferent types of data and correlate the structures of that data is better and more robust than it has ever been. Powerfull computer data modeling will reveal many occurances of these events, taken individualy they mean nothing. But entered into a modeling program together, new results emerge. If they can predict new sunspots days before they emerge on the sun, I believe they can use new combined data to predict earth events too.

12 nuclear plants in the mid-Atlantic declared an “unusual event” and one declared an “alert”, According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, MD.
Operations at the Exelon nuclear power plant in Peach Bottom, PA, were unaffected by Tuesday’s 5.8 magnitude earthquake, a spokesman for the site told Patch. But personnel knew it happened.
“Absolutely we felt it here at Peach Bottom,” said Dave Tillman, a spokesman at the plant. “We declared what’s called an unusual event. … That is a procedural declaration—the lowest of our four emergency [declarations].”
The plant is about 20 miles north of Bel Air along the Susquehanna River. It services northern Harford and parts of Cecil County.
Three other mid-Atlantic Exelon plants declared a similar emergency: Three Mile Island and Limerick, also in Pennsylvania, and Oyster Creek in New Jersey.

Virginia Earthquake 2011: 4.2 Magnitude Aftershock Felt in Virginia, More Likely to Come

US quake prompts review of nuclear plants
24 August 2011 12:28:46 PM Source: AP
Nuclear plants from North Carolina to Michigan are under increased scrutiny after a 5.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the US East Coast.
Twelve nuclear plants declared an “unusual event”, the lowest level of emergency, after Tuesday’s earthquake, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.
Virginia’s North Anna Power Station, about 20km from the epicentre, issued an alert, the next highest emergency level.
The quake was centred 65km northwest of Richmond. Two nuclear reactors at North Anna were automatically taken off line by safety systems.
No damage was reported at the plant, which is being powered by emergency diesel generators.
The quake was also felt at the Surry nuclear plant near Newport News, Virginia.
Besides Surry, the other plants declaring an unusual event were the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant in Maryland; Peach Bottom, Three Mile Island, Susquehanna and Limerick plants in Pennsylvania; Salem, Hope Creek and Oyster Creek in New Jersey, Shearon Harris in North Carolina; and D.C. Cook and Palisades in Michigan.
All were placed under increased scrutiny but continued to operate. Steve Kerekes, a spokesman for …
