When you hear the words "earthquake" and "United States" in the same sentence, what geographic area usually comes to mind? Most people automatically think "Pacific Coast".... specifically, California. Those of us living in the central part of the States know that the San Andreas Fault is not the only major fault line lying beneath the surface of the U.S. There is also the New Madrid Fault in Arkansas/Missouri/Tennessee which produced a series of major quakes in 1811 and 1812.
All my life I've heard dire speculation about how potentially devastating it would be if this were to happen now. Periodically items pop up in the news about it. The same article which can be found at this link appeared in my local newspaper over the weekend.
If you click here it will take you to my favorite site for tracking earthquakes around the globe.

- Making my way through the ups and downs of life, holding fast to my favorite Bible verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." ~2 Corinthians 5:7. I began blogging in earnest at Yahoo360 on October 24, 2005. (briefly using LiveJournal and blog-city prior to that) In June 2008 I moved to Blogger. I'm now at WordPress where I hope to remain.
