Looking for the New Madrid Fault
On a warm winter night 200 years ago chimneys toppled in Cincinnati, Ohio, steeple bells rang in Charleston, South Carolina and a new lake was formed in Tennessee. These quakes were centered near New Madrid. The next two months would see two more quakes of equal intensity, while hundreds of aftershocks continued into 1813. Join regional historian Dr. Frank Nickell as he takes you on a journey retracing the path of destruction. From Cape Girardeau to New Madrid (and beyond )you will get a first-hand view into the past and gain a better understanding of how a future quake could impact the region.
