Experts warn central U.S. should prepare for devastating magnitude 7 earthquake that could hit Missouri fault line at any time as 'fear of the big one' in California remains

Parts of the central U.S. are at risk of a devastating magnitude 7 earthquake within the next 50 years, experts are warning, with added urgency due to what they say is a sense of 'complacency' in those areas.

Experts have been predicting a magnitude 7 earthquake in the areas surrounding the New Madrid fault line in Missouri for decades. It covers an area including Memphis, Tennessee, as well as St. Louis, Indianapolis and Little Rock, Arkansas.

Despite 45 million people living within the danger zone, warnings have largely been ignored, said Robbie Myers, the emergency management expert from the region.

The last major earthquakes from this fault happened in 1811 and 1812, centered near the town of New Madrid, Missouri. The quake reportedly managed to ring church bells as far away as South Carolina, causing farmland to sink into swamps and the Mississippi River to flow backward, among other strange occurrences.

We just had a 6.1 e quake and the news barely said anything. We’ll live.

Hysterical libtards to blame it on fracking in 3...2...1

[rarestia]

Just 8.7 years left until the end. No... wait... that’s global warming. Starting to feel like every crisis is needed to keep the public in fear.

'fear of the big one' in California remains

They've been predicting "the big one" since the early 1970's

Fortunately, the Obama-Biden-Trump-Biden NRC and DOE funded and sponsored a Emergency Federal Response Center - Specifically to respond to any nuclear plant "unplanned" emergency like what happened to Fukishima after their earthquake and tsunami. (Any kind of regional accident - not just tsunamis or earthquakes.

Good! Unfortunately, they put their Emergency Response Supply Center right on this fault in Memphis TN.

Church bells rang in Boston and Miss. River flowed backwards, among other things... A sizeable quake like 1811-1812 would be felt and cause damage for many, many miles away.

Dear ‘experts’, just STFU, we’ve had enough.

[Wilderness Conservative]

I recall reading the last big New Madrid quake made church bells in Boston ring. Yikes!

[Robert A Cook PE]

No. The next *big earthquake* will most likely be offshore of the Oregon-Washington coast, under the Cascadia Fault line.

This fault trips off regularly every 280-360 years with a Mag 8 - Mag 9 earthquake and tsnamis that clobber villages in Japan.

The last one was January 1703. 320 years ago.

You know, it's funny. I know a number of people who have reached very high levels of competency in their various professions/endeavors, and I am quite confident that none of them would be comfortable with being called "experts."

When I see the grinning monkeys our propaganda agencies trot out as "experts," I see frauds.

Natures way to shake off fleas.

WAR! COVID! CLIMATE! MEGAQUAKE! AUNTIE-EM! AUNTIE-EM!

[Keyhopper]

I thought for earthquakes it was a condom and some depends😁
No, it’s a tophat and a tux, nah that’s for hurricanes.

[dforest]

More hysteria. Do we never get any happiness anymore?

The last one was January 1703. 320 years ago

Looks like their estimates aren't that accurate after all are they?

[lee martell]

Some Missourians are not so sure about that.
“Show me!” they’re saying.
