Rick Stonell: on Disaster Preparedness

The recent earthquakes in Hawaii have concentrated a few people’s minds. But did you know that there’s an earthquake predicted for the continental US? And it’s not on the West Coast?

I’m taliking about New Madrid, Missouri - the site of a major earthquake (probably Richter 8.0) in 1812. Seismologists are predicting a 90% chance of a similar event in the next 50 years.
