"New Madrid Fault"

   I'm not sure how many people are aware of the new madrid fault and fema's drills. I have been visiting http://earthquake.usgs.gov quiet frequently to stay updated on the tremors, and small quakes. It seems the new madrid fault is becoming more and more active as the months go by. Fema has practiced drills in these areas and has stored away limitless funds and supplies for this exact catastrophic event but denies it all to keep down panic. They know it is coming and researchers say that when the new madrid fault decides to let out the big one, its gonna gonna be bad.
   In fact they expect at least 150 miles of land on each side of the Mississippi river to be destroyed and under water. They say the river will open up around 150 plus miles on each side of the river and suck up the ocean water from gulf causing the river to run backwards separating most of the eastern half of the country from the west all the way up to middle Illinois down to the gulf coast.
  Many of the largest record breaking earthquakes to ever hit the United States hit in 1811 and 1812. They occurred in Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi and were felt all the way up to Canada and down to the gulf coast. This year of 2011 and 2012 will be the 200th anniversary, of the new madrid quakes.
