Isn't that a city in India? If you're talking about the biggest fault line in North America it would be the San Andreas fault, running along the West Coast and nowhere near Memphis - the most likely quake-affected cities there would be Los Angeles, San Diego or San Francisco (maybe Seattle or Tacoma if you want to avoid the obvious cliche cities). If you really want some sort of disaster specifically to rip up Memphis the most likely thing I could think of would be a flood (either a hurricane storm surge from the ocean like Hurricane Katrina, or heavy rain from up-river causing the Mississippi to burst its banks).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Actually I rushed to post and realized I named the fault line wrong.  It is called the New Madrid faultline and it is the longest in North America.   Its 120 miles long and is right there along the borders of Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee.   With  Memphis  being the city closes that would be affected greatly.
