I recently talked with a relative in Waukegan about the quake in Japan and how we are due for a 9.0 subduction quake in the Pacific. They said they'd never heard of the New Madrid Fault which could clobber Chicago, St. Louis, etc. So, who has heard of the New Madrid Fault? BTW, our last quake of any size was the spring break quake about 10 years back. It was a 5 or 5.5 No tsunami worries here but the big quake is in the back of our minds and we are 57 miles from the ocean with a mountain range in the way. So, have you heard of the New Madrid Fault?
You can't control the wind but you can adjust your sails...at least until the wind blows then down.
