<< four quakes and their aftershocks occuring in 1811
 and 1812.   >>

The earthquake of 1812 formed Reelfoot Lake in northwestern part of 
Tennessee.  The Mississippi River flowed backwards for days and filled 
Reelfoot.  That quake was felt all the way to the New England states where it 
caused church bells to ring.

I do not take our lack of siesmic activity for granted in these parts.  The 
New Madrid fault is more dangerous than anything they can dish out in 
California.
