KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - People in a vast seismic zone in the southern and midwestern United States would face catastrophic damage if a major earthquake struck there and should ensure that builders keep that risk in mind, a government report said on Thursday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said if earthquakes strike in what geologists define as the New Madrid Seismic Zone, they would cause "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States."
FEMA predicted a large earthquake would cause "widespread and catastrophic physical damage" across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee -- home to some 44 million people.
Tennessee is likely to be hardest hit, according to the study that sought to gauge the impact of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in order to guide the government's response....
Ha Ha Ha Ha... rolling on the floor laughing, crying, turning red...oh no, please stop all this conspiracy theory martian, tin foil stuff - I just can't handle such comical entertainment!! What a bunch of wacko, nut jobs!! Uh, ya, like ok, a "catastrophic" U.S. quake? Where do these "FEMA" koo-koo's and those Reuter flake "reporters" come up with these ludicrous theories and prophetic ramblings?
I'm so glad we have 5 sane Sermon Audio editors that don't believe this conspiracy propaganda.
Hi Mike, The old turnip's still going strong, ta, thanks to vegan diet and carrot juice, courtesy of hacres.com in north carolina, i think. Did you ever hear again from Lexiconis? I don't know what happened to him, but i guess he's away to heaven. Yamil still about? It seems very quiet here. Not all banned i hope? My internet is back on, but very slow. So I'll dip in from time to time.

Hello John,
Something is going on for sure, no one seems to be sure what it is, most think it's not very good. I fear when a mere man is looked on as a new messiah, they are in for a rude awakening.
As for the C. theorists, never fear, there will be a new antichrist to take Bush's place right round the corner.

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency said if earthquakes strike in what geologists define as the New Madrid Seismic Zone, they would cause "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States."
"If." Probably true. And if a meteor the size of the moon hit the earth, we'd be no more. And if the sun went out, we'd freeze.
It is not defying a "law of nature" to build cities below sea level. Actually, if there really were divinely-ordained "laws of nature," then miracles couldn't happen (e.g., Christ defying the "law of buoyancy"), unless we allow that God (like certain politicians & pastors) break his own laws w/o warning.
And if God breaks his natural laws, should we trust Him to keep his spiritual laws as well (such as justifying those with saving faith)?
Better to replace "natural law" with a working hypothesis about nature.
It will probably be a lot bigger than 7.7, it could knock the seismographs' needles right off there scales. Hey, the U.S. has cities below sea level, e.g., New Orleans you can go around defying God's natural laws let alone his moral ones.
