So we should most worry about the new Madrid fault?

Not some underwater activity in the Caribbean or gulf that could cause a tsunami?

That NPR link I posted said they were picking up activity and that was 2 years ago. If it's relieving stress with small earthquakes we are good.

I think Louisiana is fine unless the New Madrid triggered a huge force that activated the Baton Rouge Fault.


For Tsunamis in the Caribbean...LINK

I'm not too keen on these: But it looks like we are safe from the land blocking us in all direction. There is a chance for rebound of the tsunami bouncing off one wall of the Gulf and coming for us, but by then it will dissipate.

Unless it hits in a concave and grows! And goes right at us, but there's really no place it can do that.
