Interessting read. A bit too pollyannish from a quick perusal, it seems to me. nice charts anyway!

I guess they are selling earthquake insurance in Missouri again! I remember having to get a quote for it in the mid-80’s - the last time they thought the New Madrid was going to let go...

New Madrid fault? I thought everything was Bush’s fault.

If the New Madrid fault lets go with a big one, 8.0 or larger, the USA is in for a WORLD of hurt.
Basically, everything from Springfield, IL to New Orleans and from Central Tennessee to Kansas is going to be down and out.
Kansas City would be hurt but still standing.
The main interior artery of the USA, the Mississippi River would, in all likely hood, not be navigable for a long period of time by anything but a small sport boat, maybe a pontoon boat.
Bridges over the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, etc rivers would be down, including railroad bridges.
Travel disrupted through the center of the country, I-80 might still be open, but just about everything but air travel.
Good luck if it ever happens, we'll all need it.

I wonder if the skyscrapers in Little Rock, AR sitting not a quarter mile from the Arkansas River would survive a big New Madrid earthquake?
