I love learning new facts like this. I knew abt the New Madrid fault and the 1811-12 earthquake, and what it did to TN and MO and AR, but I never thought abt Indiana being involved. I heard them talking abt how they are watching that fault seriously right now. I did not hear enough to know if there is a special reason. I never knew a fault was that close to you there. Where I live in north Louisiana we are "fault free" I guess you can say. They once thought a lake here was a product of the big Madrid quake, but they have Indian history that says it was here long before and I think archeological proof too. I can live a long time without an earthquake. Tornados are bad enough without the earth shaking. Thanks for enlightening me on this. In a message dated 1/26/2010 8:01:00 P.M.

But our closest major faultline runs under Mt. Auburn. We would be affected if the New Madrid Fault had another one like in 1811-1812. Memphis, St. Louis and Evansville would be leveled. Terre Haute and Indianapolis would have major damage, Terre Haute more than Indy. We purchased earthquake insurance in 1988 when we built in Shelbyville, but it didn't cover anything but the brick on the house.

Would hate to know you had a big old fault under you there. Go see that picture, it is something. In a message dated 1/26/2010 2:40:15 P.M.

Surely someone else out there can give you some real details!
