Is it happening?

No. It is not. I live 30 miles from the epicenter of the New Madrid Fault and did not feel anything.

I remember first feeling a tremor in my first grade class. That was a long time ago. Since then I have lost count of the number I have experienced.

earthquake to hit central Mississippi was Dec 11, 1992, where a magnitude 2.4 shook Humphreys County.

The last earthquake to strike Mississippi was July 27, 2012. A magnitude 2.1 tremor occurred near Meridian.

The strongest quake recorded in Mississippi was a magnitude 4.7 on Dec 16, 1931 near Charleston in north Mississippi.

Exactly how I described one of similar size when I was working in SF. Just one hard jolt. Except I was asleep when it hit around 5am. Dreamt that a Mack truck rammed into the wall my hotel bed was on and woke up thinking it was only a dream until later.

I go to Memphis pretty often. It’s got a lot of typical southern city issues but has some fantastic areas.

The first time I was ever in one, I was teaching a class in Japan and everybody immediately jumped under the big wooden table we were sitting at. I truly had no idea what was happening and felt like a dumbass.

I can confirm. Ducks are few and far between and it’s not just the Ms Delta.

I remember some "scientist" predicted a major earthquake on the New Madrid Fault line on Dec 3, 1990. I was in fourth grade and being in Memphis, a lot of parents kept their kids home from school that day. Those of us that went watched movies all day.

We also had to bring "earthquake kits" to school which had a space blanket, some snacks and two Capri Suns.

Damn. I’m assuming that’s not enough to cause damage. If so, I Hope your ponds are ok.
