Officials say an earthquake has rattled parts of central Oklahoma and was felt as far away as southern Kansas.

Southern Kansas is not that far away from central Oklahoma.

I may be fear-mongering here, but it sure seems like the New Madrid is making more noise than usual.

My son who works in mid-Tulsa said the windows rattled but he didn’t really feel it. I think he was excited, another new experience while away at school to brag about. Not feeling so thrilled as a mom though.

three in the area in two days

On December 16, 1811, the 400 residents of New Madrid, Missouri, were shaken out of their beds at two in the morning by a violent earthquake. Huge cracks split the ground. The waters of the Mississippi rose and fell like a great tide. Giant waves rose up and swept north, giving the impression that the river was actually flowing backwards. Boats along the river were engulfed, capsized, and theeair crews drowned.

It's one year after two New Madrid earthquakes have devastated the Mississippi Valley.
Battalions of foreign peackeepers are occupying Tennessee, at the invitation of the President.

Phil Carson, (from "Enemies Foreign And Domestic"), and three strangers are hiding in a well-stocked cave, which is a guerrilla fighter's lair. Across the region Kazakh "contract peacekeepers" are wiping out the last remaining American holdouts, who have rejected the federal government's order to abandon their homes and move to "relocation centers."

This scene is in the middle of the novel.
