I grew up in that red zone. Everyone who lives there is well aware of the New Madrid fault.
I can recall a quake that audibly rumbled & shook the dinner table hard enough that the iced tea sloshed out of the pitcher. I went to the front door & my dad went to the back door looking for the tornado.
On Christmas Eve in 1982 I remember another quake that cracked pipes all over town.
