The New Madrid fault line is gaining more widespread attention. The 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes were a series of intense intraplate earthquakes beginning with an initial earthquake of moment magnitude 7.2–8.2 on December 16, 1811, Directive Cycle 4, Universal Year 11/2 and Universal Month 5, followed by a magnitude 7.4 aftershock on the same day. Two additional earthquakes of similar magnitude followed in January and February 1812, Universal Months 4 and 5.
The New Madrid earthquakes hold the distinction of being the most potent series of earthquakes to impact the contiguous United States east of the Rocky Mountains since records have been kept.
The numbers 1, 5, and 11 symbolize sudden events and volatility.
We look to historical data to estimate when a similar event might occur. We suspect that in 2027, which is a Universal Year 11, we should be particularly vigilant about the New Madrid fault line. The numbers 4, 5, and 11/2 are also linked to the New Madrid earthquakes, so we should pay attention to the calendar and universal months associated with these numbers.
Earthquakes that occur in the New Madrid Seismic Zone potentially threaten parts of seven American states: Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and, to a lesser extent, Mississippi and Indiana.
The most violent of a series of earthquakes near Missouri causes a so-called fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River, actually making the river run backward for several hours.
