That reminds me of a place in Iowa where the mainstreet through town takes a right-lefter. This was due to a datum update or change and it turns ou the road perfectly follows a line of latitude. So as they were building it, they had to update it as well...

Yeah, the barbed wire nailed to the inside then the electric wire on standoffs means they seriously didn't want anything pushing on that fence. The fence in the background doesn't seem to be as well guarded so it must be the wiggle in this fence they're concerned with.
Maybe it's a tourist attraction. :right:

We never would have had this problem if the hot coffee mod hadn't been released to the public.

Probably the Landers Earthquake (1992 California)

There is a fault line that crosses I-80 just west of Fairfield, California on the way to Vallejo. Every few years or so, they have to repave a couple yards of asphalt across the freeway, and repair the dividing wall as it breaks apart. My dad has commuted this stretch of 80 for over 20 years and I commuted it for 3, so we both have been able to see it. Sorry, no pictures tho. Maybe someone else has seen it?
