It has been 280 days since this ATS thread was started. Not saying that nothing will happen, but things are quiet on the Ole New Madrid. Similar threads probably are similarly true for several spots in California, Seattle, Portland, Charleston, S.C. New York City where devastating earthquakes are forecast to occur in the future and are overdue. This World is a hodge podge of tectonic plates that have been bashed by asteroids and has a mantle subject to large forces of convection, and thus earthquakes. We can either have a few people in place in the critical spots to prepare for them or bury our heads in the sands of time. I think it only prudent to be prepared and to pre-station a few emergency workers in the danger zones, even if that danger turns out to be into the next century.
