Doomsayers have warned about the Pacific Coast for years. But only a few have raised concerns about an area with the potential to be more dangerous than California -- the New Madrid seismic zone in the center of the country.

Good gracious, we heard about this every 2-5 years! Just wait, we'll have another prediction, just in time for every homeowner in the area to consider buying earthquake insurance.

The New Madrid quake of almost two centuries ago was massive. If the same one hit today, millions could die. There are a number of good-sized cities today in that area that didn't exist then.

For crying out loud. The USGS has never been able to predict an earthquake through all the years of its existence. Although I love the study of seismology; I think the only ones who benefit off the "study" materials are liberal-democrats. Figuring out where to build; how to build cheaply, and how to fearmonger.

It's only been what? 200 years since the New Madrid blew big enough to rock the world? Nah. I'm not buying into this hype about a newer "big one building on the New Madrid". The big ones are going to happen elsewhere around the world which haven't had a major "plate movement" in a long, long time.

To its credit, however, USGS also does great stuff in re "being prepared". That's a good thing to do REGARDLESS of "potential" earthquakes.

Where can I find seismograph pictures of the US with real-time data?

Supposedly, we in Virginia were able to feel and hear an earthquake that occurred in Missouri last week.
