Southeast Missouri rattled by series of earthquakes in the same region within days

Feb 4, 2025

In a notable sequence of events, three small earthquakes have struck the same location in southeast Missouri within a short span of days.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported the first tremor occurring on January 28 at 7:43 a.m., registering a magnitude of 1.9.

This quake was situated approximately 2.5 miles west-southwest of Howardville, in the heart of New Madrid County, and was recorded at a depth of slightly over four miles beneath the Earth’s surface.

Following this initial quake, the region experienced another seismic event on February 2 at 12:57 p.m., which also measured a magnitude of 1.9.

This second tremor occurred at a depth of 4.5 miles, maintaining a consistent geological profile with its predecessor in terms of both magnitude and location.

The seismic activity continued with a third earthquake, which was documented less than 15 hours later, on February 3 at 3:11 a.m.

This event was slightly stronger, measuring a magnitude of 2.1 and occurring at the same depth of 4.5 miles.

All three quakes have raised interest among local residents and scientists alike, as they reflect ongoing tectonic activity in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, an area historically known for its significant seismic events.
