Don’t know about Northwest Arkansas but a 6.5 in the New Madrid Zone would be much more devastating than one of the same magnitude in central CA.

Did not say anything about the amount of devastation caused in the New Madrid Zone. It would be bad just as a 6.5 in LA or SF would be really bad. All we in the west are saying is that a 2.6 is small, yeah you feel it, but it is not a big one. We have little ones out here all the time and the size is posted in our papers daily.No one likes earthquakes and it is unnerving that there are so many active events in the ring of fire.
