Rhino Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Must be associated with the New Madrid fault system. Last earthquake was in 1812. We're due for another major earthquake from that fault system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Back in the early 1800's the New Madrid kicked out 5 quakes magnitude 8.0 or more. After a quake in February of 1812, the Mississippi River actually ran backwards for a day. :jaw: That fault boundary is a ticking timebomb right now. She's due for a whompum let-go one of these days.
