As do other parts of the country. Example: from Dec. 1811 to
Feb. 1812, there were 4-5 *big* earthquakes in the Mississippi valley
(the "New Madrid Seismic Zone") and the last earthquake annihilated the
town of New Madrid, Missouri. All were estimated to be 7.0+, and
possibly 8.0+. Three were felt as far away as Quebec. References:
