There are whole shelves of books in libraries dedicated to the New Madrid Quake. Stuff "liquified" as far North as Paoli, Indiana.

Last time I looked, the Mississippi "rift" was something like 17 miles deep, filled with dirt washed in from the Appalachians over the ages.

It's dangerous to live next to a 17 mile deep hole anywhere!

I've read that the quake was so bad the windows in Chicago were broken and church bells in Boston rang.

17 MILES deep ? That can't be possible, that's beyond the upper depth of the Earth's mantle.

Wow.
