I think that's the New Madrid fault, which had its last big quake in the 1820s
or 1840s, I'm not sure. It is due for another visit, actually. It was felt as
far away as Chicago. They expect only big quakes from this fault. Cities may
again fall into the river. Have you ever read Twain's memoirs regarding man's
hubris in attempting to tame and straighten the Mississippi?
