A big one like this one in Chile on the New Madrid would absolutely obliterate Memphis and St. Louis.
Prayers for the survivors. Lord grant them safety and understanding to deal with the aftermath of so great a disaster.
you all might want to bookmark this - you can get a good look at the region of Chile quake
The New Madrid always kicks out small quakes daily. I feel the ones that are around 3.0 and I feel the 2.5 quakes that come from the Wabash Fault - I closer to the New Madrid through.
I’m just across the river in Illinois.
1000 times stronger than Haiti, my God!
