    The Mississipi ran backwards! That's how big that one was 200 years ago. Church bells rang in Charleston. It was so long!

    Used to live in Memphis, TN. Only 20 mins from the Mississippi River. Glad I moved to AZ now. Hate how this doesn't get talked about because its not California..

      The thing is, that we don’t know how big of an earthquake can hit Utah. The last major earthquake that hit the new Madrid zone was a 6.8 in 1895 and a 6.4 in 1843 but since then, it’s been quiet. And seismologist believe that the fault line gets a 6.4 or greater every 50-80 years but a 7.7 or greater is every 300-500 years. Thoses earthquakes go as far back at 1699 when the French explorers were near Memphis, they experience strong shaking but before then, we don’t know. They just guess. And the new Madrid quakes make the Mississippi run backwards from some time.

    One of the networks aired a show decades ago in which they predicted the top 10 most likely natural disasters to occur. New Orleans was 1st (prescient). Number 2 was the New Madrid fault. When the earthquake hit there 200 years ago, population was scarce and cities hadn't really built up yet. Today, tens of millions of people live along this fault. I grew up in northern Illinois, hundreds of miles from the fault and yet I was awakened one night to feel this soundless moving of the house for just a brief moment. I found out the next morning it was a mild earthquake along the New Madrid over 600 miles away.
