re: Next Big New Madrid Earthquake

I read an article that said that Memphis is one of the nation's largest rail hubs, and the loss of one of their bridges would definitely suck for freight movement. The eastern river bank could be lost to liquefaction if it is bad enough. Downtown and the riverfront would be the worst area hit.

I wonder if the levees up near the Missouri boot heal would hold up if it happened in the spring time when the river was high.
