Missouri Forest Shaken? New Madrid Quake Raises Questions

I have confirmation that the New Madrid Fault did have an earthquake today and that it was reportedly felt, but the location is odd. The epicenter appears to be in the Mark Twain National Forest?

Let's start with what I can confirm - The USGS has confirmed an earthquake happened today (August 26, 2025) and this is where it was centered.

It wasn't a big deal at all with the USGS confirming that it was 2.2 magnitude in strength. The odd part is it was reportedly felt by...someone. I have so many questions. If you're familiar with that part of Missouri to the northwest of the Cape Girardeau area, you know it's heavily-forested. Did the person who reported this quake to the USGS feel it while on a rogue camping trip or was it Bigfoot (or Mo-Mo as us Missourians call it)?

It's no secret that the New Madrid Fault has frequent minor earthquakes. One happened yesterday in the boot heel of the state where they are normally centered. This location much to the northwest is not typical, but it's also not a sign of the apocalypse either. There are some earthquakes in the St. Louis area on occasion. It's just not something you see every day. That's why a minor quake like the one that just happened today is odd simply because it wasn't big, it was in a heavily-forested remote area and it was reportedly felt. Some mysteries just aren't meant to be solved I suppose.
