I need to hone up on the Earthquake stuff, we do live near a fault that is in Missouri/Kansas I believe. I'm from Indiana and I know there's a huge fault in Missouri. The New Madrid fault popped big time in the early 1800's, ringing church bells in Philadelphia and causing the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to flow backwards for a short while (or so the stories say). seas.upenn.edu The great New Madrid earthquake of 1811-12 was a series of quakes that happened over a three-month period. The main shocks, the three largest earthquakes, were estimated to be greater than magnitude 8.0 Aftershocks included two events around magnitude 8.0, five magnitude 7.7, ten magnitude 5.3, and eighty-nine estimated at magnitude 4.3. The entire fault system is believed to have ruptured in this series of earthquakes. Aftershocks were felt in the region for more than a year. This was the largest release of seismic energy in the continental United States. The only other larger event was the Great Alaska Earthquake, in 1964. altavista.digital.com
