New Madrid quakes tend to hit every 300 years or so, and it's been 200 years since the last one. If the next one hits early, there could be people here alive when it happens. Hope I'm not one of them. The destruction of a major midwestern quake would be unimaginable, and I doubt if the nation as we know it would survive it, especially if it hits during a period when the economy is in the shitter.
