"My money's still on a humdinger of a quake along the New Madrid fault"

Wasn't extensive flooding thought to have played a role, in the last big quake along the New Madrid? Seems like I've read that somewhere. Flood waters exerted pressure upon the fault?

No. The quake series was during the middle of the winter.

The last major quake felt along the New Madrid, was in the 1800s. Someone told me once it actually reversed the course of the Big Muddy..

Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee wasn't there prior to the quake.
