The New Madrid Fault just shook a tiny airport in Missouri and was reportedly felt by many in the area.

The New Madrid Fault said "Happy Thanksgiving" with a swarm of 4 quakes this morning.

Several in southern Missouri reported a short, but quick jolt Friday morning.

It wasn't a life-changing jolt, but more of a "Hello and hope you have a Merry Christmas" type of rumble as the New Madrid Fault woke up a few in southern Missouri on Christmas morning.

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.

There were 16 typical earthquakes along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in Missouri in October, plus 4 events that were not.

2 earthquakes happened along the southern Missouri border Thursday where they normally don't occur.

This was no minor earthquake that hit the New Madrid Fault Zone in Missouri early Thursday morning. So far, it's the largest quake along this seismically-active part of Missouri in 2024.

I have learned a lot about earthquakes studying the New Madrid Fault that borders Missouri for decades and I'm still barely scratching the surface. That being said, I'm a little bit mystified why there were 27 quakes since mid-April along the fault, but now it's suddenly gone quiet.
