My biggest concern about New Madrid is that the effects of its slips are felt so much further away than anything in the rocky earth of the west coast. A few years ago there was a small New Madrid quake centered somewhere in southern Illinois, IIRC, and my mom said the top floor of her 4-story office building in Traverse City was noticeably swaying from it.
