I assume it was off the New Madrid fault in Missouri and I assume it was a pretty good sized one as I felt it over 200 miles away. I can't remember there being anything about it on the news or in the paper, however.
What is thought by some to be the largest earthquake ever in the US occurred close to you. I can't remember if it was centered near St. Louis or Kansas City.

It was in the 1800s if memory serves. And it rang church bells in BOSTON.
