Arkansas

If you live in or near Missouri, you live in one of the most seismically-active places in America. Want proof? The United States Geological Survey has confirmed that there have already been 177 New Madrid quakes in 2024 so far and that's a conservative count.

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.

I love and respect the people of Arkansas. Please remember that. However, I cannot recommend that any Missouri person go there to find a love connection. There are more than 5 reasons why, but for the sake of time I'll limit myself to those.

They're twins if that were possible for earthquakes. Two seismic events struck the New Madrid Seismic Zone on Friday with one quake felt in Missouri and an identical shaker in southern Arkansas.

Missouri is known for mysterious creatures including Bigfoot, Mo-Mo, Sasquatch among others. But, did you know that the smelliest monster of them all exists somewhere in the Ozarks right across the Missouri border according to legends?

No one knows exactly what it is or where it came from, but local legends agree that some sort of river monster really did lurk in the southern part of the Missouri Ozarks.

I am a little afraid to share this news for fear that the narcissists that surround Missouri will come find me, but I'll be brave. There is new science and data that claims Missouri is literally surrounded by narcissists. Brace yourself for the truth.

We're only days into 2024 and already strange geological things are happening in and near Missouri. This is one of them. A mini-swarm of earthquakes were reported overnight near Bull Shoals Lake.

Most earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone in Missouri are not felt. The quake that struck Wednesday was and registers as one of 2023's most intense quake felt by hundreds.

One of my favorite Elvis movies was "Jailhouse Rock". That was not shot in Illinois which is surprising considering that Illinois is near the top of the list for states with the most prisoners.
