1. Ooh, good one!

I still like the one that changed the course of the Mississippi. I forget exactly when (early/mid-1800s).

4. That would be the New Madrid fault in Missouri that let go

Estimated actually to be the largest earthquake in America since the white man arrived. It was felt all the way out to the east coast. And yes, it did change the course of the Mississippi River.

And while it has been dormant(excepting little tremors here and there) ever since, most of us Missourians are aware of its existence, and have always been a little nervous. I live aprox on hundred fifty miles away from the fault, yet I still have earthquake insurance, along with a lot of other people.
