Since mid-November, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has detected at least 38 low-level seismic events along the boundaries of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.

The threat that the New Madrid fault zone poses should not be underestimated.

That's OK. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission found a centrally convenient place in the middle of the United States to maintain and store its emergency nuclear reactor equipment for rapid deployment to all states in the Central US.

(We can just hope all of the bridges and interstate highways nearby are fully up and safe when they have to convoy out of town to an emergency somewhere else. )

The Hernando DeSoto bridge (otherwise known as the “new bridge”) was reinforced a few years back to withstand earthquakes.

The problem is after an earthquake Memphis will become The Planet of the Apes, so even getting to the bridge would be a miracle.
