How will this saturation effect the New Madrid fault?

I’ve heard the amount of rain we’re getting is a once every 1000 years type deal

Friends, before I went into meteorology, I dedicated 2 years to seismology, volcanology and geology (I decided outrunning a tornado was more favorable than a volcano). What you need to know is that the majority of the underground composition in the highlighted area is sandstone, limestone and shale. I have studied flood geology as well. Billions of gallons of water have been dumped on the highlighted area over the last week. Billions more will be brought into the area via runoff from surrounding rivers. The water table is obviously maxed (thus the flooding). Y’all ever pour a lot of water on sand at the beach? It creates ravines. You are going to start seeing this at the surface. Roads will wash out, landscapes will change because the sandstone and limestone will shift. The same thing happens underground but we can’t see it until it collapses. Minor earthquakes have shaken this fault line since time began but I’m afraid that this event will do some serious damage to the foundational integrity of WKY, E MO, E AR, and W TN. To what extent, I have no idea but I wouldn’t be surprised to see minor earthquakes along the fault line in the coming days and weeks. I’m really concerned that this event will trigger a major earthquake. PLEASE review earthquake safety with your family.

Well shite I sure hope he’s wrong

This guy just explained what we all know water has been doing to the earth forever…
Glad I tuned in

Odd that I am 45 years old and can't even begin to count the memories of the times we have had this much rain. It's like most people have the memory span of a goldfish.
They called the 93 floods a 500 year event lol.

They call everything a x00 year event to heighten awareness for what ever excrement science they are pushing. On top of that, most simpletons will not question and accept it as the gospel.

We are cooked when that thing pops off. The Mississippi is gonna flow backwards baw

You realize that fault lines are about 80,000 feet under sea level, right? Rain doesn't cause earthquakes.

This is what you get when you reward sensationalizing normal weather events, eventually some whacko is going to tie normal, every year fronts to geological disaster.

And the biggest river in N America runs right over it. Would rain do more than the river does constantly.

Rivers burn then run backwards.

Is this someone that is an amateur geologists or some shite. It reads that way.
Kind of like a flat earth story

I was in the last New Madrid quake in the late 1970's and can assure you your map is far too small a coverage area.
Not sure about the saturation issue from rain but the quake a century or two ago changed state boundaries as it altered the flow of the major rivers that create state borders. A magnitude of that level now (with massive population increases would make Cali quakes look like a butt pimple to a volcanic eruption.
Bigger issue by disaster level would be the Yellowstone thing. Merica from the Mississippi River to the West coast would be toast along with pretty much every living thing in that area.

Fun fact:
Between where the Missouri River joins the Mississippi at Saint Louis, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, the depth averages 30 feet (9 m). Below Cairo, where the Ohio River joins, the depth averages 50–100 feet (15–30 m) deep. The deepest part of the river is in New Orleans, where it reaches over 200 feet (61 m) deep near the French Quarter.
Here is a cutaway of the fault zone:
I guess we will need to wait and see if ground water becomes a lube to loosen this fault.
