There was a major one in Missouri I believe in the 1800’s. Oklahoma had one several years ago and we felt it in Omaha.

“…The area of strong shaking associated with these shocks is two to three times as large as that of the 1964 Alaska earthquake and 10 times as large as that of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake…”

The New Madrid quake. IIRC it made church bells ring in Philadelphia and it made the Mississippi River flow backwards.
