New Madrid?
There is no pressure building on the Madrid fault zone. As long pressure is released through the states that the fault line runs through Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana,Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.
Faults that run through the middle of continents sometimes fade out or only have earthquakes every 10,000 years, with the last being in the early 1800's.
There are multiple fear mongers with PHD initials attached to their names that are i***ts to how earthquakes actually occur. They are stuck in false teachings our universities are still vomiting out and spout out false information as if they are experts in hopes of getting a name for themselves.
YouTube is full of OMG"The united states is going to split in half".
There is only one possible event that can rock the New Madrid fault and it is found in Scripture.
With that said, my concern is the Cascadia subduction with a high probability of erasing (scrubbing) everything west of Interstate I-5 (puget sound from the straights of Juan DE Fuca to Seattle /Tacoma /Hoods canal) Oregon to Northern California.
Also of concern is the over 2000 % increase in volcanic activities /explosions in just the last two and a half decades. Explosions that reach 40,000 and 50,000 feet are now common and an active ingredient in earthquakes. There are hot spots that show up on satellites in just the last two years "The Paradise fires", methane releases off the Oregon coast, the clear lake volcano and near the border of California and Mexico. Dormant volcanoes in America are being reclassified as active. There is nothing currently to suggest a major explosion. The swarms that we hear about at Yellowstone are a result of uplift in the magma chamber but absolutely nothing to suggest an explosion. If we begin to see larger swarms at double and triple the magnitude then I would begin to be concerned such as we having been seeing in Hawaii as magma is refilling the last year's collapsed chamber from last year's lava flows emptying the chamber, lowering or collapsing the dome and chamber 3000 feet that can be seen on Google Earth.
There is a direct connection in earthquakes and Volcanoes.
I only report volcanoes that effect the states and mostly its antipode effect that can drive a larger earthquake watch.
There will be volcanic activities in the states in areas other than the larger better know volcanoes.
Being able to forecast earthquakes is actually very simple once the basics are understood, it's a quick learn. I will not use technical terms because they complicate what is a very simple process to learn.
Ask questions and after a dozen or so post of forecast /updates one will understand a majority of how earthquakes work and can begin to do forecast, another dozen post should have an accuracy of 70+% asking different questions.
Anyone reading these updates /forecast ask questions if your interested in knowing where, when and how large an earthquake Wil hit, how a volcano on the opposite side of the world could result in a large earthquake in the states.
Helping to prepare for the inevitable,
