Yes, Missouri. <begin nitpick mode> Also, it was the Mississippi River
(which diverted into an area where the ground fell), forming Reelfoot Lake,
and the year was 1811 (there were also quakes in 1812). <end nitpick mode>
The main quake was felt over all of the US east of the Rocky Mountains.

IIRC, the largest US quake (of which we have reliable evidence) in the

So California can not claim to have *all* the fun.
