Grew on the Kentucky side of New Madrid. We had tremors all the time. In 68 a pretty big one. 6.0 something.

I grew up in New Madrid County. When I was 4 or 5 years old, which would make it about 1949 or 1950, I was playing in my yard when a fairly big one hit, I fell down, tried to stand back up and couldn’t.
I thought it was fun but my mother didn’t, it broke quite a few of her dishes and glasses by rattling them out of the cabinets.
I distinctly remember our dog going bonkers barking before the quake.
