When New Madrid lets loose it's going to be nasty -- not just to
Memphis and St. Louis, but Chicago as well.
The magic words are 'unsecured masonry,' or so a friend from
California tells me.
Having seen a brick facade strip away from a decaying building
here, I have a faint idea of what she means. That incident resulted
in one death and several injured.
I live in Columbus, Ohio. When we bought our house we got flood and
earthquake insurance, in addition to a regular policy. I don't
think we'll get much more than a little shaking here, but just in
case....
