I am hoping to own beachfront property on the Gulf of America as I live in Topeka, Kansas. Of couse we were under an ocean here once upon a time according to the fossil record.

A geologist friend of mine says you cannot compare West coast quakes to a New Madrid quake. On the West coast, the Earth is composed of relatively soft layers with lots of sand that absorbe shock. The Midwest has hard layers of limestome running though it. He made the analogy of whipping a tablecloth on a table loaded with stuff. He said the shockwaves of a much smaller quake could do much more damage over a much larger area from a New Madrid quake. I have family in St. Charles. Should I send them some tinfoil?

Interesting input from your expert friend on the dangers of hard bedrock area quakes being more destructive at lower magnitudes.

I think the arms of Jesus and doing and being as HE INSTRUCTS US by His "still small voice" comprise the only safety in these increassingly traumatic times.

The epicenter is the safest place ****IF**** Jesus said to be there and as He has promised--is with you there. . . . whether one lives or dies--as to die is gain, to live is Christ as Paul said.

I'd sure rather die IN His will than "LIVE" outside of it.
