Thanks for another good link Paul. I appreciate it.
If you get a chance, look at a space shot of the New Madrid fault region. You’ll note the plains there are very smooth, surrounded by Ozark Mountain. IMO, it’s a liquifaction ripe area.
Someone the other day linked me some photos of (I believe it was) limestone, sand or salt deposit blow holes. They were rings with blow holes at the center. That area is problematic, where it doesn’t have a solid base under it.
That scares me. I am north of Nashville and felt the recent quake. Well I slept through the first one and felt the aftershocks. My house made noises and the computer screen shook a bit. Scared me. If a big one hits, I read at the USGS site, there could be damage in 20 states.
“IMO, it’s a liquifaction ripe area.”
It’s more than just your opinion! One of the effects was that so much water was squeezed out of liquified ground that it considerably increased the flow of the Mississippi River for a while. The parts that weren’t running backwards, that is.

Actually, I drive on one part of those plains or another, every few months or so. They look so benign .. and hide a terrible monster.
