I can’t speak about the other states, but in Missouri, the New Madrid Fault is NOT “little known.”

We are building a concrete home. If that don’t trigger the New Madrid nothing will.

In the New Madrid quakes of 1811 and 1812, the ground "liquefied". One moment you are standing on solid ground, the next moment you have sunk up to your neck in porridge. Cows, and people and whole houses disappeared into this gruel.

It is well known here. We’ve felt a few tremors over the years. See post #25

I was going to say the same thing. Grew up in Washington State, and learned about the New Madrid fault in Jr High school. If I remember correctly, a quake on that fault in the mid-1800’s rerouted parts of the Mississippi and was felt in New England. Then again, schools today don’t actually teach anything so maybe it is “little known” today.
