If there were another monster earthquake at New Madrid, Missouri, could it potentially dam or reroute the Mississippi River?

I was looking at a map this morning – New Madrid is right on the Mississippi, on an oxbow that makes a jog to the north.
If a strong enough earthquake hit, could the result either dam the river, or cause it to cut the oxbow off and push the water straight across?
