yeah, there was a bad earthquake in Missouri in the 1800s. I thought that was more related to the crustal uplift after glaciation than faults.

there are other "hot spots" in the middle of the NA plate, but theyre out west along the rockies.

That was the New Madrid quake I think. Somewhere in the high 7's on the Richter scale, though I'm not sure how they know that. Maybe I was stoned when I saw it, but I also could have sworn that the show I was watching said that the current of the Mississippi reversed.

yeah, that was the one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Earthquake. It severely effected the landscape there. It didn't actually make the Mississippi run backward, just waves that made it appear that way.

I guess it's not on a fault, according to the article, but there's a weakness in the NA plate there creating seismic activity. also, intraplate earthquakes are common enough to have their own page. I did not know that!

Received this today via email:

News flash: The recent earthquake in Virginia was not an earthquake at all. Geologists have determined it was Our Founding Fathers turning over in their graves.
