[quote:Anonymous Coward 33440:MV81MzkyNzhfODI4ODY5NF9FRjdDNzlBRQ==] I read the novel, "The Rift" by Walter Williams which details a modern earthquake along the New Madrid fault. The most interesting part of the book to me though are the first hand accounts written by people from 1812 that preceed each chapter. Some quite incredible accounts of personally observed earthquake related occurences in the region. [/quote]

So, I went poking around on Google search and
found this intro to a 2004 scientific article
about the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811/12.
Here is the critical part:
We infer that the remaining New Madrid mainshock may have occurred more than 200 km north of this region in the Wabash Valley of southern Indiana and Illinois—an area that contains abundant modern microseismicity, and where substantial liquefaction was documented by historic accounts. Our results suggest that future large mid-plate earthquake sequences may extend over a much broader region than previously suspected.

The Wabash Valley is where the recent earthquakes have occurred.
