In case you're not from here (or in case you missed this lecture in 6th grade geography) we here in Middle Tennessee live in a very unique section of the country (if not the world)...a place some of Wall Street's best land planners have predicted will be America's "Garden of Eden" should the world turn on its axis.
Following population migratory patterns, some have gone so far as to suggest we're but a couple more earthquakes and a handful of hurricanes away from the whole country gravitating inland, where (climate changes permitting) greener pastures and more balanced seasons lend more hope for house stability and sustainable living. (Granted, last year's arctic blast threw even us Tennesseans for a loop.)
As for me, I say hold onto your farms everyone!
Granted it was a tectonic plate shift even then that created our Home Sweet "Central Basin" Home, but the bottom line is: shifts happen...and psychics and geologists alike agree: shifts are poised to happen again.
To better grasp our future, perhaps we're best studying our past. All I can say is, when those plates shifted, strange (albeit beautiful) things happened, (like Cedars growing on rock and underground lakes forming as Lost Seas*)....What the next shift brings, remains to be seen . . .
- The "Guinness Book of World Records" lists the Lost Sea in Sweetwater as the largest underground lake in the United States.
