I remember when we were kids and we worried about when the New Madrid fault would go off and unleash a giant earthquake across the Midwest. In order to prepare for the ordeal we had drills at school that required us to hide under our desks. It looks like the fault is finally starting to act up. It took fifteen years longer than expected, but there was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake felt throughout Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio. I wonder if it was felt in Missouri?
