New Madrid Fault Shaking Again?

There has recently been an earthquake in Kansas and Tennessee.  This should be interesting to all of us because a massive earthquake happened in New Madrid, Missouri a few hundred years ago.  And if another one of that size happened today it would literally bring America to a screeching halt.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Campbell County family reported a magnitude 3.8 earthquake caused damage to their foundation Monday afternoon.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A small earthquake was reported in southern Kansas on Sunday.

The U.S. Geological Survey said a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck about 2 miles (3 kilometers) southwest of Hutchinson shortly after 1 p.m. The service had initially reported that it was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake, but later upgraded it. No damage was immediately reported.

And read this article from last summer and then go to the link if you want to see a map of the New Madrid fault zone.

NEW MADRID, Mo. — The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is asking people to be prepared for earthquakes. They say that the 7.0 magnitude quake that shook California would have a devastating impact on the state.

Illinois is flanked on its western and eastern borders by two active seismic zones: the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. The New Madrid fault zone is very active. In 1811-1812 the area in southern Missouri was hit by an earthquake that registered 7.5 on the Richter scale. It was felt up the eastern seaboard into New York City, Philadelphia, even up to Canada.

WLOX-TV reports that the risk of another earthquake on the New Madrid fault of the same size is 7 – 10 percent over the next 50 years. A scientist tells them that the likelihood of an earthquake on the New Madrid fault of a 6.0 during the same timeline is around 40-50 percent.

Jesus told us that earthquakes would be one of the signs that His return was near.  They serve as a reminder that mankind is in control of NOTHING!  He can build whatever he wants but it will never stand up to the forces of nature.  And God alone is the creator of nature.  We are just wee little men who serve on this earth at His pleasure.
