Seven earthquakes shake areas around New Madrid fault line!
Officials with the Evansville/Vanderburgh County Emergency Management Agency in Indiana say seven earthquakes happened Monday morning around the New Madrid fault line.
According to Missouri’s State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), five earthquakes were detected near Marston, Missouri, while two were detected near Ridgley, Tennessee.
The USGS, also known as the U.S. Geological Survey, indicates these are the towns that were closest to these earthquakes:
December 9:
Marston, MO
Magnitude 2.2
7:30 a.m.
Howardville, MO
Magnitude 1.9
6:25 a.m.
Ridgely, TN
Magnitude 1.8
5:31 a.m.
Howardville, MO

Matthews, MO
Magnitude 2.2

In 1811 and 1812, the seismic area generated numerous earthquakes over a period of months, including three massive quakes that the USGS estimates to have been between magnitude 7 and 8. The quakes destroyed multiple settlements along the Mississippi River and were reportedly felt as far away as Cincinnati, Ohio; Hartford, Connecticut; Charleston, South Carolina; and New Orleans.
The USGS confirms a series of seven small earthquakes have been reported on the New Madrid Fault in the past 24 hours. The public is encouraged to be aware of earthquake risk and protection protocol should one impact our region.
