What Is The New Madrid Fault Zone & Why Are People Concerned About It Splitting Off Part Of The U.S.

  • Have you ever wondered what the U.S. would look like if split in half?  Well according to a U.S. Geological Survey that was released if the worst occurs we just may find out.

    It's not enough that our country is split in half politically now we have to worry about a literal split!

    For those that are unaware of what the New Madrid Fault is let me explain. As many of you may already know the United States has quite a few fault lines lying underneath its beautiful surface. The most popular being the San Andres Fault out west.

    While the San Andres is also a fault line they are watching there are reasons that they fear the New Madrid Fault more and that is because it is six times larger than the San Andreas and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

    So let's take a look at what would happen and who would be severely affected by a rupture along this fault line.

      I had a dream about this a warning from GOD . I live in Texas and where I was standing I looked down and the ocean was at my feet. And as I turned to the right to look I saw a boat and it was full of can goods. that was 2 yrs ago. it was a powerful message I believe. Something is coming GOD is bring all sorts of suffering to US soil

      Not if but when that fault moves again. Worse than all faults in California. But parts of the west coast , no great loss.

      This theory sounds like another boondoggle to get taxpayers’ money, under the guise of further study. Right up there with global warming.

      Damn! My house here in Central West Florida becomes a fishing reef about 200 miles from the nearest landfall. Gotta go now and stock up on enough gas to get me 200 miles north in my boat.

      I think we are all hoping that CA will break off into the sea.
