MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Mid-South was hit by seven earthquakes in just one day.

The strongest earthquake – a magnitude three – was felt on Monday across parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky.

At the University of Memphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information, Dr. Kent Moran is busy keeping a close eye on recent quake activity on Seismic Maps.

“This is normal seismicity,” Dr. Moran said. “It just comes in bursts on occasion.”

He’s not just looking for the Big One, but other quakes around the world and those shaking parts of the Mid-South.

“We (are) here at the Earthquake Center to help educate the public, educate the emergency services (on how) to be prepared for such events big or small,” Dr. Moran said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Normal he says, hmmm. Few weeks ago it was New Jersey, then the large ones off the west coast, now a swarm along an overdue fault line?

Of course on has to consider the flooding from Helene saturated the ground and ground waters just east of there too. Now freezing cold. So surface ground is freezing and thawing as well.

We shall see if there has been enough of a disturbance along the Madrid and its borders to trigger it.
