The USGS national hazard map states that the Meers fault has a recurrence interval of 4,500 years but estimates range from 100,000 years to 1,300 years . The fault may generate strong earthquakes in the future ; earthquakes with magnitudes might be possible on the Meers fault and an earthquake similar to the Holocene ones would be felt over large parts of the continent , including Oklahoma and Texas , with intensities comparable to these of the 1886 Charleston earthquake and 1811 – 12 New Madrid earthquakes
