has not been active lately but in the 
1811-1812 period (last major event), the Mississippi river ran backwards.
Legend has it that Tecumseh predicted the earthquake, which was a sign for 
all the different tribes in North America to unite with the British and chase 
the "white man" off their property... it didn't work...
It also created Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee, and changed part of the path of 
the Ohio River (which also ran backwards) and caused a section of KY to be lost 
to Illinois since the river dipped south near Fulton, KY...
If the New Madrid fault were to become that active I think St Louis would be 
devestated... as would Paducah, KY.
