stan, the more you look into the ramifications of a massive quake in that area the worse it gets.
Take Memphis for example. Millions of people live there. Most of the buildings are unreinforced brick which will crumble like powder. It is a major gateway to the west. Huge amounts of commercial traffic must pass through there to cross the Miss. river. Also many major oil pipelines that feed large sections of the US run through the area.
All of this infrastructure will be destroyed.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
