The New Madrid Earthquakes

In the winter of 1811, the American frontier was shaken by a series of earthquakes so powerful they were felt across much of the continent.

The ground split open, forests were flattened, sand erupted from the earth, and the Mississippi River seemed to flow backwards.

Even more unsettling is the fact that the source of those earthquakes remains active today, and some say it could happen again.
