November 23, 1929: Berkshire has done away with earthquakes over the past three centuries

 


Besides Berkshire’s natural assets that have been somewhat boasted of as attractions, there is one that is not mentioned but is very important. It is the exemption of this part of the hill from the devastating effects of the elements, which in other parts of the country wreak repeated havoc over the years.

The Earthquake Gods were great at showing their bias towards Berkshire compared to any other neighboring department. In fact, during the 1638 period in which the United States Geodetic and Coastal Survey collected earthquake history, not a single ground shock occurred to repel the Quiet Hills or any point in the state west of the Connecticut Valley.

While this particular section was free from all these disturbances, the sections that revolved around it at some point during the nearly three centuries included in the survey report, have been shaken by earthquakes of a rather severe nature. Some of these are felt in the Berkshire area, but not a little more. It did not result in any harm and none of them experienced only the slightest fear of them from the residents.

In Massachusetts, 18 earthquakes have occurred since 1638 when the nation’s history of seismology began. The first was in the year of Christmas, 1638, and the last at noon on a Monday of this week when the Connecticut Valley near Springfield was the site of tremors that knocked buildings, rocking chairs, interlocking phones and caused flashing lights. Many residents of Springfield experience vertigo. In 1925, on April 24, many people were awakened in southeast Massachusetts but little harm was done by the shock people did not feel in a large area.

The Geodetic Survey report showed that all of the earthquakes that occurred in Massachusetts were concentrated in the eastern part of the state. In the colonial era, there were a number of earthquakes in the state near Newburyport, and many of these earthquakes, especially those that occurred in 1727, which were felt by 75,000 square miles, spread tremors over large areas.

The year 1755, centered west of Boston, was felt over 300,000 square miles. And he felt many moderate shocks in the southeastern part of the state.
