I'm not saying that the area is not geologically interesting, I am saying there will be a buildup of quakes above background levels before the thing blows.

Frankly, if you wanted to worry about a gelogic event which could occur without warning and kill millions, start sweating about another major quake (also 'overdue') in southern Missouri.

I wonder if a major quake at Yellowstone or eruption would put enough stress on the New Madrid Fault to trigger the big quake?

Now for Doomsday purposes if it also triggers the reactivation of the Volcano near Seattle that is also a ticking timebomb and the dust and such trigger weather changes that cause a killer hurricane that hits New Orleans just right so that downtown is under ten feet of water then I think Tom Dashile would be mighty concerned.
