Earthquakes

A minor earthquake happened just south of Cape Girardeau, Missouri early Wednesday morning confirmed by the USGS.

There's been a mini-swarm of 3 quakes Thursday morning along the New Madrid Fault in southern Missouri.

A geologist says researchers found evidence of major New Madrid earthquakes prior to the historic 1811 and 1812 events.

The New Madrid Seismic Zone saw the number of earthquakes in March triple compared to February.

Experts say a major quake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone would do more damage than any other place in America because of sand.

The New Madrid Fault has had a flurry of 6 quakes over the past few days including 1 near one of the state's funniest town names.

There has been only 1 earthquake along the New Madrid Fault in the past week and none in Missouri according to the USGS.

After a quiet start to 2026, the New Madrid Fault in southern Missouri suddenly has a swarm of 7 earthquakes in just the past few days.

The largest quake of 2026 hit the Missouri boot heel today, but no one even felt it.

The New Madrid Fault has gone almost completely silent in February with a near-record lack of quakes.
