If some of those loosen the New Madrid fault, a lot of somebody are gonna be in a world of hurt, and insurance companies will be looking for someone to blame it on.

Back in the mid-80s, I think the New Madrid gave forth a tremor. I was sitting at the dining table in Louisville, KY, when the entire house shook. Lasted about 30 seconds. No damage, just vibration.
