Daily Mail [UK] –
Experts warn central U.S. should prepare for devastating magnitude 7 earthquake that could hit Missouri fault line at any time as ‘fear of the big one’ in California remains
- The USGS puts the risk of a magnitude 7 earthquake in central U.S. at 10 percent
- They predict it could happen within 50 years
- The odds are higher for a magnitude 6 earthquake: 40 percent within 50 years
- A quake is likely to originate at the New Madrid Fault in New Madrid, Missouri
- Emergency experts say homes and businesses are not well prepared for the risk
I would like to see a new picture of Bayou Corne sinkhole
I for one don’t think that sinkhole is done sinking I think there another salt Cavern about to sink I think that Oxy-1

I went to the lower left corner to change ‘layers’ to the photo-like view. The map has 2022 date but it looks like a really old image as the edge isn’t even near any houses.
I just went to G00gle Earth and the image is the same. The date at the bottom says 2021. But it looks like a wrong image. There are adult trees all around the sinkhole which would not have had time to grow since its biggest expansion. I think it went to the size recorded here and then the mud and fallen trees filled in the edges quite a bit (my guess).
