I'm worrying about the Big One. The big earthquake that is supposed to hit middle America sometime soon (of course, it was supposed to have hit every year for about the last 20 years - which is even scarier because it means it's overdue, right?). I live right on the New Madrid Fault in southeastern Missouri/northeastern Arkansas - right at ground zero so to speak and only 3 miles from the Mississippi River which will most certainly flood (maybe with a tsunami effect?) if we don't drown in the quicksand that our ground is supposed to turn into since our water table is so high (this is reclaimed swampland) and because it is of a consistency called "gumbo."
So I continue to live here worrying about when it will strike, and now with new cats, I worry about them. At least my son is safely away. Folks, I am really paranoid. But the Fault is really there. There's no way my husband is going to move.
