A freak Missouri earthquake late Sunday night south of St. Louis

Something strange happened between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau, Missouri, late Sunday night and no one had noticed until now. A strange earthquake has been reported in an area that I have never seen a recorded earthquake before.

I found this earthquake while doing my daily check of the USGS's “tremor page” which shows the latest tremors across the country. It happened at 10:38 PM on Sunday night, February 18, 2024. The temperature was 1.9 degrees and no one reported feeling it northwest of Weingarten, Missouri.

There's no cause for alarm, but I'm sharing it because even though it's a very minor earthquake that won't do any damage, I can't remember seeing the New Madrid earthquake so far upriver in Missouri.

Zooming in, you can see that this is not far from Farmington, Missouri.

You may remember that this strange Missouri earthquake follows a group of 8 earthquakes last week that were all in the New Madrid “strike zone.” I'm not trying to ring alarm bells, but I think it's an interesting activity in Missouri that's different from the few small earthquakes you usually see every week near the Bothell part of the state.

Let this be a reminder that the ground we walk on every day in Missouri is active and that a large earthquake in our lifetime is very likely (up to a 7.7 according to the USGS). Know what you and/or your family will do in the event of a major earthquake, and hope you never have to use this plan ever.
