The Mississippi actually flowed from the south to the north for several hours. The floor of the river buckled causing flooding and the formation of Reelfoot Lake in Kentucky. When it got day break you could see the damage done all around. Some people that the home was not built to strong did not. We still have to hunt our animals .
Every body is scared to death.
We still do not know if anybody was killed. The wrath of the New Madrid did not cease there. You cannot fight it cause you do not know how. It is not something that you can see. The earth quake or what ever it is come again today.
