For the second day in a row, there has been a New Madrid Fault quake that has been centered in an odd place and this one was felt by many southeast of Missouri in Tennessee.
Just when you think you've seen it all, the New Madrid Fault comes up with a brand new place to shake. A quake was just confirmed by the USGS right across the Missouri border practically in the middle of nowhere in a non-typical area.
Missouri sees its fair share of earthquakes thanks to the New Madrid Fault, but not often in this place. There was a weird quake very early Saturday confirmed by the USGS at Bull Shoals Lake on Missouri's southern border.
The new year is off to a shaky start on the southern Missouri border thanks to a very active New Madrid Fault which has already shaken the state 21 times in 2025.
How does one commemorate the anniversary of one of the largest earthquakes in United States history? If you're the earthquake fault in southern Missouri, you celebrate by causing a tremor exactly 213 years to the day which is what just happened.
