I know this reply is a bit late, but I live a little over 100 miles from the New Madrid Faultline. It has been over 200 years (I think) since it last shifted. Kentucky sits on one of the largest cave systems in North America and I think perhaps the world. We have Mammoth cave to the north of where I live and Dunbar Cave to the south just over the line in Tennessee. Campbell's Cave runs beneath my entire town. I was told that if a 'Big One' were to hit, we simply will have NO HOPE. As one man put it; 'Put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye."
