Had a 4.8 wake me up early one morning in North Alabama back in 2003 or 4. It created a spring on a guy I know farm that produced enough water to irrigate out of. There was no surface water at this spot before. Ran for about 10 years and then stopped.

The big one will most likely come from New Madrid. There are small quakes you don’t notice almost daily there. There are fault zones in East Tennessee, near Charleston SC and the Wabash valley that I have had to design for.
Everyone talks about the San Andreas. If the New Madrid were to go a 7 plus quake number, it would be much more devastating.

We get small ones all the time on the New Madrid fault.

Yes due to liquefaction of alluvial soils. All along the Mississippi and up the Ohio hundreds of miles. A 7.6 is the 2500 year return interval earthquake which is what we design for.

Felt a 6.2 when I was young and still lived in SoCal. You never forget it, I promise you that. Figured that would all end after moving to Oklahoma, but we get a lot of tremors and tremblors here often enough. We felt a 5.7 in 2011 and the epicenter was exactly 17.5 miles from my doorstep. Structures here aren't built for earthquakes and I'm on a concrete slab, so it was pretty rocky. Happened on the night that OkSt beat up on OU for the Big 12 Championship and should have solidified their place in the NCG against LSU, but of course the bag man chose Bama instead.

How often does the New Madrid get excited and jump for joy?

Used to feel smaller ones often when I lived in SoCal.
I was drunk and passed out during my first one. It woke me up, and I was so confused until brunch the next day when my friend's wife asked me how I enjoyed my first earthquake.

Only two barely worth noting. A 4.7 and a 4.1. Honestly even the 4.7 was mild in a single story home.

We get little tremors every now and then in WNC, but nothing that does any damage.
I was in CA last year and we had a couple of shakes that last 5-10 seconds.

When I first moved to the Charleston metro area, my (first) wife and I were house hunting near Summerville and saw a street named “Fault Line Road”.
Yeah, that neighborhood got IMMEDIATELY crossed off our list!

I think there was a 5.2 or something when I was in Los Angeles county. Didn't seem like a big deal. Can't imagine 4.8 doing much.

Yes in kalifornia 80’s

I’ve been in several smallish ones in Missouri. But also one in San Fran (some time in the 90s). I remember this one because I was a dozen or so stories up in my hotel room and noticed the water in the toilet bowl sloshing around. I felt extra vulnerable being that high up.

When sufficient pressure builds up. We reallly can’t predict when but it is inevitable. The question is what magnitude.
