Brettnik--- Nice story. I live just upriver, about 100 miles.

Interesting thing about New MADdrid is that it's really a part of the Deep South, although it's in Missouri. That entire Bootheel section is that way. Also, the quakes supposedly rang bells in Philadelphia. I have earthquake insurance.

Thank you!  Actually, I had a major in Bio and a minor in English.  What did you enjoy in school?

Brettnik--This is another excellent story!

Kids welcome treacherous weather for a break from boring daily routine.

I wonder if you studied English literature back in school/college.

Brettnik -

Love manifests itself in many ways. And one of the best ways is in white-sausage gravy over biscuits!

TAPS_ Here here. With all the people there now, it would be awful.

Brettnik, Very interesting.   My Dad's people came from Tennessee on the other side of the river where the terrain was changed so much by the New Madrid earthquake.   My Dad told us many tales  that had been passed down from one generation to another for more than a hundred years when he was a boy.  He carried on the tradition and peaked an interest in me for studying that event.    I hope it never becomes active like that again.
