1811-12 ...ah, yes...the New Madrid fault. I was taken on a tour of S.E. Missouri in 1970. The guide took us down a little road and we got out and walked to a spot where there was a vertical sort of 'slice' of land about 7 ft. higher than the road. This, he said, was level just before the big quake.....*shudder*
