And the government has a role here, but not as the nanny-state protect-us-from-all-boogiemen-in-the-dark that Mrs Clinton and her MSM promotes.

It's dismissed almost casually in most of today's "history" books as an "inactive" fault,
I've never seen the slightest evidence of this.

This was no *small* geological event in American history.
From what I’ve seen, this went on for a couple of yrs. with several major quakes.
If it happened today.......

I have a habit of checking the Quake Sheet at Drudge ever few days. That area is always active.

I need to write faster!
If the New Madrid busts loose, it could take out the TN River dams, and most of the bridges over the Mississippi, TN and Ohio Rivers between Vicksburg and Paducah, as well as wrecking highway overpasses etc. Many major natural gas pipelines from the Gulf to the Northeast could also be broken. It would be difficult to bring in relief supplies and reconstruction equipment, because the highway, river and RR infrastructure would all be cut or blocked at the same time in an interlocking way.

People settle in Earthquake, Flood, Tornado, Hurricane and Blizzard prone areas and then blame the government because a natural catastrophe strikes them? Stupidity reigns!
I don’t live too far from this area. Maybe I’ll hit the Disaster Lottery some day, too.

I Saw an interesting show about the coming Memphis earthquake ... I think it was on the Discovery Channel ...
The show showed archeology info which was fascinating & the bad earthquakes has happened more than once in the Memphis & other areas .
