Gas explosion. I've read the article numerous times, but old age is getting the best of me and I can't remember it all now. 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. LC ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 3:54:33 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [INSHELBY] Blowout on Flatrock Thanks, I wondered because the groundber had long cracks like you see in   earthquakes, heaven forbid! 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.
