>>How so, the Missouri too?

It's what they said on the tv - the really big one on the New Madrid fault had both rivers running backwards...

No... They're wrong.

Just the Mississippi flowed north, and only for a short while to fill the new lakes, and just in that region.

Missouri connection is further north, up past St Louis a few miles.

I too heard the largest earthquake in American was along the Madrid fault. Rivers ran backwards for two days.

I found that odd because the MO runs back on itself at St. Charles at all times, the New Madrid Fault isn't a factor.
