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.

Yep
we have been waiting for the San Andreas fault to drop Commiefornia into the sea for awhile now but no such luck there
Well at least Chicago will get cleaned up
The New Madrid fault line is no joke.it is home to a lot of Nuclear reactors all along the Eastern and Southeastern states.just as active as the San Andreas fault line but not as strong for now.but has been felt in the last couple years.in Kentucky and other States.
Will be no laughing matter when if happens.and it will eventually.
Ok…..will all the libtards please stand up….AND MOVE LEFT!
If you are in the Central and Western states you won’t have to worry mice.but the rest will be hell for 30 years.laugh if you must but don’t worry the fall out from the Nuclear reactors will wipe it off later.
Bull crap, just the lefties keeping people scared ,there controllable that way ,I have never heard this one before
This was being pushed twenty years ago.
No.
It would not just split open the earth but would be catastrophic
Yelp been small tremors you cant feel
Illinois will sink into lake michigan
Hahahaha
Didn’t the election already split our country in two?
I hope I have a chance to pack the car and run.
Why is it called Madrid when thats in Spain???
Yup, sure. Just like it did last time.
True or not there is a fault l8ne running outside Houston, through East Texas, going northeasterly. Yeah, this could be a problem some day.
Virginia Bartell
REALLY, THAT MAY NOT BE SO BAD!
Yeah and Yellowstone could erupt destroying 2/3 of the United States, and half of a mountain in the Canary Islands could slide off into the Atlantic Ocean causing a tidal wave that would decimate the east coast of america. And if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle, and if a worm had a gun , birds wouldn’t$#%&!@*with him ! So what’s your point ?
And I’m only 300 miles away.
AT LEAST MAKE IT NORTH, AND SOUTH AGAIN IF IT DOES!
I was hoping the one in California would break off and sink into the pacific
Lol
It better hurry if it wants to beat the democrats and republicans!
Sucks to be the half that gets stuck with California
OK so what
It rattled badly when Mark Twain was young. The Mississippi ran backward.
DOES THIS IMPLY CAL EXIT INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND NEW YORK CITY INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN???? I AM ALL IN FOR GROUP PRAYER TO SAVE THE USA.
Accept it as a potential catastrophe, but taxpayer money given to study the “problem” is nonsensical. How many earthquakes had man ever stopped? The San Andres fault line has been studied for years, with no results. Shut down the nuclear reactors, as soon as possible. Why wait for more study?
Whatever
I have friend that lives right next to the fault line he is always putting stuff back on his shelves
Yup after the whole san andras fault shook lose cali and the Rock had to save a bunch of people he is going to need to build an “expendables” type team to get through this.
I was going to hold by breath but the beer went down wrong
`damn! not one fukin dreamer amongst the whole lot…I’m off to play some bingo at least I’ll have some action
Yes, we are sitting on it in Alabama, from what I read.
Yes the goats ( Liberal democratic Lunatics), to the left. The Sheep (Conservative moral valued Republicans), to the right !
1812 made the Mississippi flow backwards.
Hey that would cut off Washington D.C. LAY! 😀
this is true. and at one time it made the mississippi flow backwards
Here we go more bullshit! Will be before or after the ice caps melt and drowned us all!
The next billion years are going to be pretty tense.
Looks like my house will be ocean front property!
Not holding my breath
Just drop off California and Minnesota
The country is already divided. And the media won’t stop instigating the divide.
California was going to fall into the Ocean. Global cooling was going to start a new ice age. The giant meteor was going to hit. Nuclear war. Global warming will drown us. Now the New Madrid fault is back. I wonder who’s making money off this scare?
Maybe it will finish what Obama stated.
