I have long been intrigued by the idea that in the event of another New Madrid Earthquake, the  oglala aquifer which has been emptied by irrigation wells, collapses and the gulf of mexico rushes up to nebraska...
been reading, this week I found a 1st edition @ the Strand, Across the Wide Missouri about the fur trading in the 1830's - all of these rivers which were damn near impassable then are mere trickles today

Another New Madrid earthquake is not going to shake the state of Mississippi any more than Elvis but may reverse the flow of the Mississippi River temporarily.  Not to worry, everything will have long ago been blown away in a hurricane or a tornado.  If it hadn't already been eaten by Formosan termites or simply rotted away.
