If you saw mentions on social media today of residents in southwestern Missouri feeling an earthquake, they weren't imagining things, but it wasn't a quake.
November has been one of the most active months of the year for the New Madrid Seismic Zone in southern Missouri as the 3rd largest quake of the month just happened Saturday night and was felt by many.
Those that live in the Missouri Bootheel are known for telling some great tall tales. In this case, they weren't fibbing about an earthquake they say they just felt.
The New Madrid, Missouri area has earthquakes all the time, but most are not felt. One that just happened Saturday night was very much felt by hundreds as it was one of the strongest quakes of 2024 so far.
