re: "I believe the worst earthquake in American history was the one in St. Louis around 1815...its estimated that it measured over 8 on the Richter Scale and rang the bells in Boston."

Correct!!!! Knocked over a record number of American Indian teepees and scared the hell out of many animals and birds in trees.

Unless you live in St. Louis the fault is generally not known about. I was there during the late sixties when a minor one hit. It scared the hell out of me.

Patient Regards,

DARBES

Tejek,

During that quake, the Mississippi actually flowed backwards for a short time period.

FYI,

Jim
