Just got a call from my Dad who lives near the Mississippi, he told me it's at the highest level since 1930!!! - Will this lubricate New Madrid??

best thread title ever.

ok im no scientist but the lubrication part seems kinda silly

It adds a lot of extra weight if the area is fragile

I've heard the term in reference to rain/earthquakes before, it actually makes sense.
Heavy rain adds weight and also permeates down... might loosen things up a bit.

The area is "silty" and very soft...almost no bedrock..I heard a geologist say one time that it might assist in loosening up the fault...

VICKSURG, Miss. -- The National Weather Service has forecast that the Mississippi River will crest at 52.5 feet in Vicksburg on May 13, the highest level since 1937.
In 1937, the Mississippi River topped out at 53.2 feet. In 2008, the river reached 50.9 feet, the highest since 1973 when it reached 51.6 feet.

The benchmark 1927 flood reached 56.2 feet on today's gauges.

This will be the "reason" when they blow the New Madrid just before or after the Great American Shakeout this week; The false flag to start martial law.

Say there is a big earthquake there where would the river run? Would it run towards the east or the west?

According to kfvs-12 the army corps of engineers are planning to blow some levees on the New Madrid fault line to provide some flood relief.

All our flood records were broken here in Queensland two months ago so guess what?...

Dooom! AH!

I think it depends what is under the river....?

I once read that if ROCK in the New Madrid area gets soaked / saturated it would be bad and cause an earthquake... so if it floods and goes by rock...

That was in a fictional novel about a New Madrid earthquake, so it may not be accurate even. It was a good book. I think it was called "The Rift". The first half dealt with the earthquake and the second half was more on people's behavior after the disaster. I must say the second half was far more disturbing. It was a very FAT book, tons of pages.

But I will your question.
