As a geological pondering, I wonder if the weight of all that water could cause an event with the New Madrid fault.

Purportedly large dams have caused quakes . . .

And, IIRC, sometimes water is thought to lubricate some fault situations—particularly when there's an excess of it in a shot time span.

Perhaps the experts will tell me I'm all . . . uhhh . . . wet

on such scores.???
