New Madrid Fault

[bbbean]

Michael, please! If you grew up in Memphis you should know that the New madrid Fault and New Madrid, MO are pronounced 'MAD-rid, not mod-rid.

FWIW, Cairo, IL is pronounced with a long A - rhymes with Pharoah.

LOL. My father lives in Sikeston and explained that Mizzou people call New Madrid New MAD rid. Cairo is pronounced like Karo syrup. Crazy world we live in. 

Would hate to see a quake similar to the one that hit Japan to hit the New Madrid Fault. That would be one heck of a mess that would split the country in half.

I know what you mean, but it's more local than regional.
NH and Me. are both North Eastern states, they share a border, NH has Alton Bay, pronounced "all-ton"
up North of Bangor Me is the Alton Woods, pronounced "al-ton".
It all depends on how the locals agreed on saying it and to hell with "pronunciation.

Mo. according to a resident I once served with ," was one of those "Border states", they couldn't decide which side to join so they just fought among themselves".
