Thank you for the links. I have family in this area, so it concerns me. Some of them are survivalists,and I’m sure they’re prepared. One is in college in Bowling Green, KY.
Let’s hope it doesn’t happen for another hundred years. Maybe earthquake prediction will be perfected by then, and everyone can have plenty of notice.
From your link...very interesting....
Today, the New Madrid fault zone, which is active (continuing to move), holds the highest earthquake risk in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Because of its geologic structure based in sedimentary rock, the damage it can cause is up to twenty times GREATER than those on the West Coast.
In the winter of 1811–12, a series of powerful earthquakes rocked the Mississippi River Valley. The ground shook so violently that it rang church bells a thousand miles away in Boston.
