The last time it let go in Missouri/Arkansas area, it rang church bells in BOSTON!!<br /><br />I'm betting it shook stuff up to the south west as well, but there weren't too many folks in Texas in 1811-1812. If it did let go, the big issue could be supply line disruption for the majority of the country due to how it could affect the Mississippi River and the bridges that cross it. And we are already dealing with supply line disruption to some degree.<br /><br />So, yea, it's on my paranoid bingo card of doom...lol.

That may be true regarding the Laws made by Man. However, one CANNOT violate the Laws of Physics, regardless of your financial or political pull.<br /><br />I'm sure you have seen your share of tragedies in your profession.
