We all know this one is due. I hope all good freepers have emergency supplies ready at all times.

Where can I find a map of this fault line?

[IYAS9YAS]

Don’t know if you’ve heard about this. Interesting, considering your Enemies series.

Just a few weeks ago the National Guard was in the area setting up emergency plans a big one on that fault line could be really devastating that’s good advice be prepared.

Now this would be my idea of an October surprise!

"After years of neglect, denial and mismanagement, the New Madrid Fault let fly today in a stunning repudiation of Bush era "do-nothing" policies..."

Maybe they’ll get a volcano.

That fault’s a bad ‘un!

There were a few small quakes yesterday. I was in Memphis last night and the seismograph at the Pink Palace was registering a few tremors. When the New Madrid goes, it will be catastrophic.

Yes this looks pretty consistent here.

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.

There was an earthquake a little more powerful than this a few weeks ago in New Hampshire, and it wasn't even along a known fault line.

I hope there is a massive electoral earthquake in early November.

[Radio Free American?]

Back in my younger days I did a lot of caving in Missouri and Arkansas with OHG (Ozarks Highland Grotto). There were several cave trips where the cave passage was actually a fault line. Believe me, the thought of an earthquake was always in the back of my mind. Especially when the passage was so tight you had to exhale all your breath to squeeze through!

[Non-Sequitur]

We all know this one is due. I hope all good freepers have emergency supplies ready at all times.

Not necessarily. A year or two ago seismologists from Northwestern, Purdue, and the University of Missouri suggested that the New Madrid Fault is actually shutting down.

[Vendome]

I’m sure it’s scary for you but here in California that probably qouldn’t cause a raised eyebrow.

When I lived in OK, iwas frequently told how being in eartquake country would be to scary.

Just laughed and said I seen plenty of tornadoes.

When “that one” goes, taking down Memphis ... you’ll never hear about Katrina again. This is a “nuclear” Katrina ticking over there near the Mississippi. Glad I moved away. Talk about an unprepared situation just waiting to “happen”.

[Ditter]

How do you pronounce this fault? Is it MAD rid or MA drid?

IT’S ROCKING AGAIN TODAY AND THEY ARE GETTING STRONGER
