If the increase in Number of Earthquakes and Pattern of Alternating regions holds up, then the New Madrid Region may be ready to release, also the 1811,1812 New Madrid earthquakes may have been preceded by Large Earthquakes in Oklahoma but Data was not as well recorded back then.

The New Madrid seismic zone has recently garnered attention as speculation about the possibility of a major earthquake runs rampant and the bicentennial of the great earthquakes of 1811-1812 approaches.
The New Madrid seismic zone averages a number of earthquakes each week but they are usually too small in magnitude to be noticed or felt.
The southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, western Kentucky region in the Midwest is located on the New Madrid seismic zone and the fault falls into parts of Tennessee and Arkansas. The New Madrid holds the record for the largest earthquakes in North America after a devastating series of quakes that occurred in the early 1800s, before the area was heavily populated.
These earthquakes occurred during the winter of 1811 and 1812.
This series of quakes and aftershocks occurred near New Madrid, Missouri along this Midwestern fault zone which would later be named the New Madrid fault or the New Madrid seismic zone.
Could earthquakes of this magnitude or greater occur today in the New Madrid seismic zone and is the risk for the area greater because of the proximity of the Wabash Valley fault? The possibility of a New Madrid earthquake has been debated for many years among residents and experts. According to the Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
Department of Geology website, a seismic event of the same magnitude as the 1811-1812 earthquakes occurring today in the New Madrid seismic zone would cause a substantial loss of life and property damage would most likely range in the billions of dollars.
This area is now heavily populated and includes the cities of Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., Paducah, Ky., Little Rock, Ark. and Evansville, Ind. Many experts believe that the New Madrid Fault Zone is overdue for a large earthquake and USGS experts have projected that there is a 25-40 percent chance that the New Madrid fault zone will have
a major earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or greater within the next 50 years
(USGS Fact Sheet FS-131-02 - October, 2002).
