Thanks, nice link. It’s bookmarked for study after church this AM. I used to live in western KY and still have extended family in the area. I worry constantly about this fault. It’s been 199 years since the last big one.
I live in NE TX. I always have been under the impression that we could be affected, too, but not on those maps.
New Madrid. It’s famous. It rang church bells in the Northeast and was felt along the St. Laurence River.
So tell me just what has your worry accomplished so far? Do you think there is anything you can do to prevent it? What you need to do, instead of worrying, is to be ready for an EQ, have emergency rations stored(including water), clothing, make sure your dwelling is up to EQ code, at least at best as possible. Once these things are done(which they should be by most people for any type of disaster)then worry is just non-productive and useless.
A big New Madrid quake would be a game changer. It would make Katrina seem like a one afternoon kindergarten picnic.
