Goddess, what do you mean by Madras in your Storyteller post where we hear about the earthquake? 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/>
