@Chaos18 Oh how I miss the mountains. When I moved here, and we drove an hour into the Ozarks I remember asking when we were going to get to the mountains. I grew up in the shadow of the Rockies, and miss them. I told them these are not mountains these are hills. Mountains you can see for hours.

Your property is fairly level because you're on the north western edge of the Ozark plateau. Head just a bit south and the bottom falls out of it.
The Ozarks are so small because they're so old. The Rockies are babies comparatively. The majestic Tetons are the youngest in North America.
The Eastern part of the Ozarks are known as the St. Francois mountains (where I grew up) are over 1.4 billion years old making them the oldest mountain range in North America and possibly on the planet. By contrast, the Appalachians are 460 million years old and the Rockies a mere 70 million.
The St. Francois are the only mountains never to have been covered by glaciers or ocean. (Ocean fossils can even be found on Everest)
They're at the collision point 300 million years ago of the North American and South American plates.
This is why all the mountains here run east and west rather than north and south. The St. Francois, Ozarks and Ouchitas. The gulf of Mexico once extended to the Ozarks.

This area is also an active seismic zone. From 1811-1812, there were over 1,000 earthquakes and aftershocks. There were no seismographs at the time but estimates are that there were 17 above magnitude 6 with three between 7.5 and 8. 800 were over M3. The largest, temporarily reversed the direction of the Mississippi. Eyewitnesses on boats said they were swept upstream a mile or more at the speed of a horse. It formed Reelfoot lake and permanently changed the course of the river.

While there have been a couple higher magnitude quakes in Alaska and California, the area of strong shaking was 2-3 times as large as the 1964 Alaska quake and 10 times as large as the 1906 San Francisco quake.

Geologists consider another big one long overdue. FEMA recently warned that a similar quake would affect 8 states and predicted it would be the highest economic loss in US history.
