AS a graduate of the Physical Geograpy Dept of the University of Memphis with a minor in Geology and one of two students who graduated with this degree, I can tell all of you that this is indeed what FEMA is preparing for. With pressure from the fracking in the Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas area, the govt has realized they have opened a ticking time bomb on a fault that was once considered dormant in the 1990's. If you do not believe a frickin word I have said, then read this excerpt from a study done in 2010 with the attached link. It will open your eyes big time on the catastrophe that is awaiting us, which will effect every person in the country regardless of where they live because of the various major transportation corridors that run through this region rail, trucks and airlines just as an example

Memphis is the largest transportation hub in the country- home of Fed Ex, Burlington Northern Railroad sea containers and various trucking companies. After midnight Fed Ex/Memphis airport is the busiest airport in the world.

"The results indicate that Tennessee, Arkansas, and M
issouri are most severely impacted. Illinois and Kentucky are also impacted, though not as severely as the previous three states. Nearly 715,000 buildings are damaged in the eight-state study region. About 42,000 search and rescue personnel
working in 1,500 teams are required to respond to
the earthquakes. Damage to critical infrastructure (essential facilities, transportation and
utility lifelines) is substantial in the
140 impacted counties near the rupture zone,
including 3,500 damaged bridges and nearly 425,000 breaks and leaks to both local and interstate pipelines. Approximately 2.6 million households are without power afterthe earthquake. Nearly 86,000 injuries and fatalities result from damage to infrastructure. Nearly 130 hospitals are damaged and most are located in the impacted counties near the rupture zone. There is extensive damage and substantial travel delays in
both Memphis, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri, thus hampering search and rescue as well as evacuation.
Moreover roughly 15 major bridges are unusable. Three days after the earthquake,7.2 million people are still displaced and 2 million people seek temporary shelter
. Direct economic losses for the eight states total
nearly $300 billion while indirect losses may be at least twice this amount."
