 What is now a similar experience to what was once normal for shipping centers?
It has happened a hundred times in the long history of Earth—and, sooner or later, will happen again! But after a week had gone by, the town of Edison, a good twenty miles away from the slides, was still complaining of the dust. Newspapers in the mountain states gave it a few inches on the front page; anything is news in late August. Only Joseph Schwartzberg, head geographer of the Department of the Interior, wondered if the disturbance might not be a settling of the Kiowa Fault. They found themselves on the scene of what was fast becoming the most violent and widespread earthquake North America—probably the world—has ever seen in historic times. To describe it in the simplest terms, land east of the Fault was settling, and at a precipitous rate. East, where sharp reports and muffled wheezes told of continued buckling and dropping, the earth trembled downward. At the rate things were going, there might be a new lake the entire length of El Paso and Pueblo Counties. By 16 September the landslip had crept down the Huerfano River past Cedarwood. Land west of the Fault was holding firm, though Denver had recorded several small tremors; everywhere east of the Fault, to almost twenty miles away, the now-familiar lurch and steady fall had already sent several thousand Coloradans scurrying for safety. As the Fault moved north and south, new areas quivered into unwelcome life.
