We here in the southeast US are expecting one big whollop of an earthquake any year now.
The New Madrid faultline which runs from south Missouri right through my town of Memphis, TN is
very unstable and expected to slip any time now. They said the last time it released it was so bad
the Mississippi river flowed backwards and formed Reelfoot lake in Northern Tennessee. They are
also talking about total devistation of the entire area with what they call 'liquification' of the soil, which
sort of turns the entire ground into a quicksand material. People on the Left Coast experience earthquakes
on a daily basis and have pretty much grown to accept them from what I hear. I respect that fear and
am glad I don't have to experience it like they do, but the big one is coming for this side of the country
and I don't think anyone realizes how bad it will be.
