No one from SEMO would mispronounce the names of the towns. Yawn.
The town is New Madrid. It's not in Spain. It's in Missouri.
As a native Sikestonian, learn the local language before using it.
Sikeston or New Madrid aren't cities. They are just towns. The cities in Missouri are Springfield, Saint Louis and Kansas City.
The New Madrid fault line has a rich history. No mention of it. The proposed epicenters are well known.
The local accent usage is a side bar of possible update as well.
Make it believable. The Mississippi River is a huge factor in the impending quake. And it is a deep, swift and demanding river. It is no casual kayak ride. Barge workers risk their lives daily to work on it.
It's obvious whomever directed this had no accurate knowledge of the area or the situations that are prevalent and current. Someone should have spoken to the mayor's office, since it is mentioned in the movie and gotten relevant facts. They are always ready and willing to help if a movie is going to be made representing our area.
