What in the heck is going on? Is our world turned upside down? Kind of, but not really. Folks in the central United States, otherwise known as the Mississippi Valley, are being encouraged to prepare for catastrophic earthquakes. And while the fear may seem unfounded, science is actually speaking to the contrary. A new program called “Shake It Out” is encouraging mass participation in earthquake preparedness events from Ohio all the way down through the southern state of Louisiana.

Well things are getting shady more than most even realize....
Not really. The New Madrid earthquakes back in the 1811, 1812 time frame were so powerful they caused the Mississippi river to flow backwards for three days.
I think their estimate is a bit high, but only a bit. That part of the country doesn't build to the same standards as in earthquake country.
I have never gotten how that would even be possible and believe it to be nothing more than an old wive's tale.
No, it is factual. There was actually visible evidence for decades after the fact. I would love to trench a section of it so we could see deposition layers.
