That's the one that created Reelfoot Lake in TN...caused the Mississippi to
run backward for a day or two while water was opened to a new space to fill.
I don't think many people were hurt in it though, unlike the one in San
Francisco in 1906 (?) that pretty well destroyed most of SF.

IIRC, the largest US quake (of which we have reliable evidence) in the
last 150 years was on the New Madrid fault in (I think) Tennessee, which
changed the course of the Ohio River. It was approaching a 9.0 R.
So California can not claim to have *all* the fun.
