J.R.R. Tolkien (born January 3, 1892, Bloemfontein, South Africa—died September 2, 1973, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England) was an English writer and scholar who achieved fame with his children’s book The Hobbit (1937) and his richly inventive epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings (1954–55).  At age four Tolkien, with his mother and younger brother, settled near Birmingham, England, after his father, a bank manager, died in South Africa.  In 1900 his mother converted to Roman Catholicism, a faith her elder son also practiced devoutly.  On her death in 1904, her boys became wards of a Catholic priest.  Four years later Tolkien fell in love with another orphan, Edith Bratt, who would inspire his fictional character Lúthien Tinúviel.  His guardian, however, disapproved, and not until his 21st birthday could Tolkien ask Edith to marry him.  https://www.britannica.com/biography/J-R-R-Tolkien

On February 7, 1812, the most violent of a series of earthquakes near Missouri causes a so-called fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River, actually making the river run backward for several hours.  The series of tremors, which took place between December 1811 and March 1812, were the most powerful in the history of the United States.  The unusual seismic activity began at about 2 a.m. on December 16, 1811, when a strong tremor rocked the New Madrid region.  The city of New Madrid, located near the Mississippi River in present-day Missouri, had about 1,000 residents at the time, mostly farmers, hunters and fur trappers.  At 7:15 a.m., an even more powerful quake erupted, now estimated to have had a magnitude of 8.6.  This tremor literally knocked people off their feet and many people experienced nausea from the extensive rolling of the earth.  Given that the area was sparsely populated and there weren’t many multi-story structures, the death toll was relatively low.  However, the quake did cause landslides that destroyed several communities, including Little Prairie, Missouri.  On January 23, 1812, an estimated 8.4-magnitude quake struck in nearly the same location, causing disastrous effects.  Fortunately, the death toll was smaller, as most of the survivors of the first earthquake were now living in tents, in which they could not be crushed.  The strongest of the tremors followed on February 7.  This one was estimated at an amazing 8.8-magnitude, a reading that ranks among the strongest quakes in human history.  Church bells rang in Boston, thousands of miles away, from the shaking. Brick walls were toppled in Cincinnati.  In the Mississippi River, water turned brown and whirlpools developed suddenly from the depressions created in the riverbed.  Waterfalls were created in an instant; in one report, 30 boats were helplessly thrown over falls, killing the people on board.  Many of the small islands in the middle of the river, often used as bases by river pirates, permanently disappeared.  Large lakes, such as Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and Big Lake at the Arkansas-Missouri border, were created by the earthquake as river water poured into new depressions.  Earthquake causes fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River | February 7, 1812 | HISTORY  Thank you, reader.
