New Madrid Fault

The New Madrid Fault had an unexpected event Sunday night with southeastern Missouri experiencing the 2nd largest quake of 2024 so far.

Missouri is preparing for the inevitable.

There was a trio of quakes that did get October off to a bang in the Missouri Bootheel.

There's a whole lot of shaking going on along the southern border of Missouri as the New Madrid Fault has suddenly become busy with nearly a quake happening every single day.

Well, this is a new one. Missouri has quakes along the New Madrid Fault all the time, but it's not often that you see one which was centered just to the west of the St. Louis area Thursday morning. It's been confirmed by the USGS and was felt by hundreds.

I'm not sharing this to alarm anyone, but if you're interested in activity along the New Madrid Fault in southern Missouri, you should know there is a mini-swarm in progress as we speak with 3 quakes just in the past couple of hours.

Something very curious just happened. New Madrid, Missouri earthquakes have suddenly gone wildly viral on TikTok and they've taken me with them and that's not the strangest thing about this.

If you blinked, you missed it. It was brief, but there was an earthquake to make sure everyone in southeast Missouri was awake thanks to the ever-present New Madrid Fault.

If you aren't an earthquake nerd like I am, you likely didn't even notice what's been happening along the New Madrid Seismic Zone near Missouri over the past few days. There's a sudden swarm of 8 measurable quakes that have been confirmed by the USGS.

A new simulation shows what would happen to Missouri if a 7.7 magnitude earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone happened.
