Why, do you expect a crocodile to emerge from it?

“Expect mass bridges to be torn”

Written as if by someone who didn’t particularly thrive in English class.

No, but what’s to say more of the ground in a larger diameter won’t further collapse, creating a larger sinkhole?

My best guess is that the “New Madrid fault” is part of a very old subduction zone, 1.9 billion years ago, predating the Atlantica supercontinent, that extends from New Orleans to the St. Laurence Seaway.

Earthquake maps indicate it runs up the Mississippi to the Ohio, briefly up the Ohio to the Wabash, north and then northeast along the Wabash, thru FT. Wayne, and then over to Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and then up and out the St. Laurents.

It wil be interesting to see follow on quakes when the New Madrid zone unloads that section and transfers the stress north and south along my presumptions of where the fault continues.

That bridge can be bolstered with heavy plate and welding within a week...

What on Earth does the ransomware attack on company running the Colonial Pipeline have to do with the New Madrid Fault?

True. I was in Europe visiting my wife's family when her cousin went on a rant about Global Warming. We obviously didn't agree and she asked why Americans didn't take it seriously.

I informed that her its mainly because natural disasters kill people all the time in the US: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, the occasional volcano, etc.

I told here that where I went to high school the radio warned us to keep blankets in the car during winter and every spring when the snow melted they were always pulling out a few unfortunate souls from cars in ravines next to the roads.

What's ordinary weather in the US kills people here all the time.

That’s actually the second crack like that I’ve seen today. The first was on one of the arches I think. Something put a lot of stress on that bridge recently or age has several components failing almost simultaneously, which would be unusual.

We moved from FL to the MO Ozarks and are 80 miles S/SW of St Louis, about 170 miles from New Madrid. An 8.0 would probably tear our little house to shreds.
