Actually all of the planning I have seen in Missouri about a major
earthquake around New Madrid fault or St. Louis results in major casualties
being sent all the way to Indianapolis. There are very few burn patient
beds available nationwide.
I felt a weak earthquake in St. Louis in about 1978. I though my alarm went
off early or it could have been the F-104's on afterburner.
I don't know why everybody gets crazy, the last tornado alert I took a
bottle of wine down to the basement and played some pool. If it hits that's
the breaks.
