Quake Headlines Just From Today

 Various places for sure!

Another relatively weak  earthquake rattled Illinois last night adding to other recent seismic events in the area. According to USGS,  the magnitude 2.0  event struck   near the Illinois/Missouri border near Monroe City which is south of   St. Louis, Missouri.  The earthquake, with a depth of 11.2 km, struck at 8:23 pm local time yesterday.  People that reported they felt and/or heard the quake were in both states.

There have been steady earthquakes about  100 miles south, but that area is  closer to the heart of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, or NMSZ for short, where seismic activity has been elevated in recent months.

According to USGS, an earthquake rattled South Carolina this morning, not far from where a historic earthquake’s epicenter was. The earthquake which struck at 11:24 am, was relatively weak but noticeable,  being rated as a magnitude 2.3 event with an epicenter having a depth of 7.7 km. The earthquake struck just southwest of the town of Summerville which is north of North Charleston and northwest of downtown Charleston. Charleston is home to the worst east coast quake on record.

According to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD), there are approximately 10-15 earthquakes every year in South Carolina, with most not felt by residents; on average, only 3-5 are felt each year. Most of  South Carolina’s earthquakes are located in the Middleton Place-Summerville Seismic Zone. The two most significant historical earthquakes to occur in South Carolina were the 1886 Charleston-Summerville quake and the 1913 Union County quake. The 1886 earthquake in Charleston was the most damaging earthquake to ever occur in the eastern United States; it was also the most destructive earthquake in the U.S. during the 19th century.

The west coast is shaking again.  In recent weeks we have witnessed so much seismic activity along the portion of the Pacific Ring of Fire that sits directly along the California coastline.  There had been hope that the shaking would settle down, but instead it appears to be accelerating.  As you will see below, there have been 321 earthquakes in the San Francisco area within the past 7 days.  If I was living in northern California, that would definitely get my attention.  Scientists have warned us over and over again that “the Big One” is inevitably coming, and almost every day there are more reminders of this.  In fact, San Ramon was just hit by a swarm of more than 30 earthquakes on Monday morning…
