in that area. that would be catastrophic with a huge casualty toll. buildings around that fault are not earthquake resistant.

This is morbid, but I would be curious to see that large earthquake slam the Mississippi. they said during the last huge earthquake there were 15 waves running both directions on the Mississippi. That would be incredible to see, but unfortunately a huge death toll would go along with it.
