[concerned]

Haydar Al-Shukri, the director of the Arkansas Earthquake Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, said the fault is separate from the New Madrid fault responsible for a series of quakes in 1811-12 that caused the Mississippi River to flow backward.

I'm too close to see it from my house, but if you get back another mile or so and to the south a bit, you can clearly see a denuded outcropping up near the peak of nearby Overlook Mountain. A piece of the mountain literally fell off in the early 1800's, due to a quake occurring at the base of the mountain on a fault that has been dormant since. There were a lot of quakes in the early 1800's. Sacajawea survived one in Missouri soon after returning with Lewis and Clark, according to her memoirs.
