The New Madrid Fault is long overdue. Memphis and St. Louis will be riot torn shambles if the fault were to awaken in the near future. The damage from the earthquake will be responsible for only half the carnage.
Agree. It's past the average interval for large quakes. I've read of the damage from the last one, sparsely populated, where the course of the Mississippi River changed in multiple places, and the ground erupted skyward with outbursts. Gonna be lots of carnage around that river and people aren't preparing for it like we do on the west coast.
