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.
