He’d probably say “New Madrid Earthquake” (again).
Ironically, there was a small one earlier today.
Here’s a link to the USGS showing an earthquake in that area in the last 7 days.

I looked on the internet and couldn’t find anything else on it. I don’t doubt your word but do find it odd that there’s no mention of it to speak of.
Here’s another one of a close up of the area.
