Kansas City, Missouri Area Shaken by Bizarre Earthquake Friday

A highly unusual earthquake has shaken the Kansas City, Missouri area on Friday with many in the area already reported feeling the shaker.

The USGS just confirmed this moderate quake that happened at approximately 1:46pm Friday, March 15, 2024. The preliminary magnitude is 3.5 just north/northeast of Ferrelview, Missouri on the Richter Scale.

The USGS seems to have confirmed the 3.5 magnitude according to their official page.

While a 3.5 earthquake isn't large enough to create any real damage, it's very strange to see this significant a quake for western Missouri and not the New Madrid Fault Zone area.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated once the USGS and the Kansas City, Missouri area reports more information.
