I have read some e-bulletin board postings about the purchase of large quantities of supplies for a "drill" for FEMA in the event a disaster happens along the New Madrid Fault Line. The purchase is for 10 days for 7 million people within the mid-section of the USA. It seems odd that the country is deeply in debt and would make such an expensive purchase for just a 'drill'.
I live in Arkansas and of course am near the zone. What are your thoughts?
