I see on the seismic maps that the New Madrid event severe area would be around Memphis or so. How will north from there be affected? Obviously St Louis would probably be affected, but what about further up to Chicago, home to 5 million or so, and the hub of major travel in the U.S.?
It is known by man that the New Madrid Fault line runs beyond the immediate area of New Madrid. When we stated that "Chicago will rupture and adjust" and
"Ohio will be pulled in places" this should not be news to man. The New Madrid runs up along the Seaway, to the mouth of the Seaway, and thus will rupture any
land it passes through. Plot its course and consider that more than the fault line itself will be disrupted. Rock detached from its former connections is free to react to
the dominant theme in the area. If rock was held down, formerly, it can bounce up. If rock was held back, it is free to spring forward. And adjustment in rock
strata means that loose soil will sink or heave. This most certainly can affect a broader area than just the fault line. We have stated that Ohio will be affected most in
this regard. These matters are related to the rock strata, which bonds or breaks, as we have stated. There is a natural break in the rock strata holding Ohio, along
the Ohio River and into its headwaters, as can be seen.
Why should Chicago be affected. There is a natural break in the rock strata between the New Madrid and Chicago also, a weakness, which will rupture with the
New Madrid. When the Seaway pulls apart there will be a drop in support formerly present during rock attachments. Chicago has long been predicted, by
ourselves and others, to be devastated. Much of the infrastructure will rupture, causing buildings to crumble and freeways to be worthless and irreparable. One
need only follow the geology of the region, to predict what will happen. Do that!
