Don't forget the the largest earthquake recorded in modern history was over around the Reel Foot Lake area. I believe that was in 1812. It was a 8+ and actually caused the Mississippi River to run backwards. It created Reel Foot Lake and rang church bells as far away as Phillidephia, PA.
For those of us in East Tennessee, Oak Ridge is probably the biggest cause of concern.

Most likely problem here is an Earthquake. Odds of getting out of Memphis, due to creek/river/bridge crossings will be very very low, if not 0 in a large earthquake. Disease epidemic or other issues, I'm within 100 miles of my go to place out in the country. We will be in my Jeep Wrangler. Whole family 4 kids, wife, can go in it.

Earthquake? I am probably riding it out at home as long as possible or at GMA's house but there is an inner state crossing involved and likely the overpass would be out.
Disease, Looting, Hijacking, Willie getting elected President? Heading down south if possible where there are horses for better travel if necessary and 100+ acres that deer like to feed on.

Oak Ridge nuke plant problem...Gotta leave fast. Hey can Al Gore turn his lights out so you can shut the plant down? Everyone just go to his house and get on his private plane. He'll probably fly out empty anyway.
These little rigs would be great for gettin out fast!
