New Madrid Seismic Zone

The 7th largest New Madrid Seismic Zone quake of 2025 happened early Sunday morning and many reported feeling it to the USGS.

A new look at megaquake risks in the US has placed the New Madrid at the top due to its unpredictability and number of residents it would displace.

The New Madrid Fault decided to toss in a mini-swarm of quakes just south of Missouri in an unusual area Friday morning.

Someone on a tractor in southern Illinois got a surprise jolt Thursday morning.

There's a bit of irony that comes with this new report of earthquakes in Missouri along the New Madrid Fault. Suddenly, there have been 7 shakers including some large enough to be felt.

It's been said about life that if you blink, you'll miss it. That's true for Missouri earthquakes, too, that happen all the time and rarely does anyone notice. That's exactly what happened in a tiny Missouri town on Thursday.

Everyone in Missouri knows about the dangers of the New Madrid Seismic Zone. However, there's a reason why 5 seemingly unrelated quakes in Tennessee could mean trouble for us someday, too.

How many earthquakes would you consider a lot? Perhaps it's the number of confirmed New Madrid earthquakes that have shaken Missouri in the past 40 years as that number has soared past 1,000.
