A small area in Illinois due south of St. Louis had a confirmed earthquake that was felt by many Saturday evening.

Missouri sees its fair share of earthquakes thanks to the New Madrid Fault, but not often in this place. There was a weird quake very early Saturday confirmed by the USGS at Bull Shoals Lake on Missouri's southern border.

The new year is off to a shaky start on the southern Missouri border thanks to a very active New Madrid Fault which has already shaken the state 21 times in 2025.

If the worst case New Madrid quake scenario ever happens, here's what you can expect.

Largest quake of 2025 so far felt in a remote area between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau, Missouri late Monday night.

I have heard whispers today that some of my friends in the St. Louis, Missouri area think they felt an earthquake, but there have been few official reports. I've been able to confirm they are correct.

It's tradition to spend the last day of the year looking back at what's taken place and that includes earthquakes. The New Madrid Seismic Zone shook Missouri way more than 300 times in 2024.

It wasn't a life-changing jolt, but more of a "Hello and hope you have a Merry Christmas" type of rumble as the New Madrid Fault woke up a few in southern Missouri on Christmas morning.

Many reported feeling an earthquake extremely early Thursday morning in southern Illinois. The shaking they felt was real, but it was not an earthquake according to the USGS.

Nearly a dozen folks in southern Missouri were woke up by an earthquake late Tuesday night.
