JAC--Sounds like you are poised in the right space-for water front property - just not the right timing!  LOL

I used to live in the area around the New Madrid Fault-- and would travel to that area for business.

There are huge --I guess you would call them rifts--big ditchlike things that are narrow but go deep that have been created by the lesser quakes over time.  It's scary to look at-- thinking what it would look like if it was a really big one.  

Some places they pump water from the Mississippi River into those trenches-- large quantities.  Not sure what that is about-- but interesting.

Thanks for the post-- makes more sense of the situation--rather than this fault-- JUST HAPPENED!
