Friday's earthquake came on the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake that reached 7.8 magnitude and destroyed much of San Francisco. My drive to Kansas City this afternoon is going to be rough! St. Louis has had: (M1.5 or greater) 0 earthquakes in the past 24 hours 0 earthquakes in the past 7 days; 1 earthquake in the past 30 days; 4 earthquakes in the past 365 days
"St. Louis was here at the time, and all that happened was some chimneys fell in East St. Louis.
In the western United States, the rock is hotter, and thus it dampens the shock waves and they are not felt as far away.Despite the fact that most seismologists, including Wysession and Wiens, don't think it likely that earthquakes ever will be predicted — which inevitably dredges up memories of the 1990 Midwest earthquake scare sparked by Iben Browning — Wysession says that there are some precursory phenomena that have been observed right before some earthquakes. Earthquake hazard maps provide one way of conveying such estimates. "Get the latest science news with ScienceDaily's free email newsletters, updated daily and weekly. No other info yet. We have several cracks in our walls and an inside beam is loose at one end. "Earthquake In Illinois Could Portend An Emerging Threat." It can be felt hundreds of miles away, even if it was a smaller earthquake. "There hasn't been a magnitude 6 earthquake on the New Madrid zone in more than 100 years, yet in 20 years there have been three magnitude 5 or better earthquakes on the Wabash Valley Fault," said Wyssession, associate professor of earth and planetary sciences. My whole house was shaking! By looking at seismometers, we can actually see many of these faults in the thinning of crusts underground. friend in glen carbon, il called and said they felt the same thing 34miles away from stl as well.Posted By: Nate Repuyan on Friday, April 18, 2008 5:52 AMToday is April 18 2008. The crust got stretched and thinned. The initial earthquake was felt in parts of 16 states. I live in Washington, MO. ScienceDaily.
"These are changes we can measure with instruments, but we can't sense them as humans," he said. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080424171350.htm (accessed August 11, 2020).Below are relevant articles that may interest you.

Is there earthquake hazard in the St. Louis region? i thought i was dreaming it at first, then i was like holy crap, and my cat ran out of my room like a bat out of hell and havent seen her since till later that night around 8p.m. Although not site specific enough to indicate the hazard at a house-by-house resolution, they can be customized by the user to show specific areas of interest, such as neighborhoods or transportation routes. But until Rover learns to tell us what he's barking about, we won't be able to employ animals in any predictive way. _g��ȕ�.g�S6�E��T:-�W�D7lڹ眫|�? 2009-1059Prepared in collaboration with the St. Louis Area Earthquake Hazards Mapping Project (SLAEHMP) I have never been in a earthquake, wow... that was crazy :D
Electrical resistivity changes have been noted, too. To the surprise of many, the earthquake on April 18, 2008, about 120 miles east of St. Louis, originated in the Wabash Valley Fault and not the better-known and more-dreaded New Madrid Fault in Missouri's bootheel.The concern of Douglas Wiens, Ph.D., and Michael Wysession, Ph.D., seismologists at Washington University in St. Louis, is that the New Madrid Fault may have seen its day and the Wabash Fault is the new kid on the block.The earthquake registered 5.2 on the Richter scale and hit at 4:40 a.m. with a strong aftershock occurring at approximately 10:15 a.m. that morning, followed by lesser ones in subsequent days. Figure 6: 2008 SLAEHMP and national seismic hazard maps for 2%-in-50-year 1.0 s hazard. [Z���=��Hp "This whole region of New Madrid and the Wabash Valley seismic zone became a rift zone about 750 million years ago when the continent almost broke apart.

It's funny watching the blogosphere light up with traffic this morning, A lot of comments on this post are saying "thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy", I was totally thinking the same thing till I was able to find the info on the USGS site.

But, let's face it, St. Louis is the biggest city in the region of both faults, and the Wabash Valley Fault is closer to us. No serious damage was reported in St. Louis. "The damage to the region by those earthquakes has been exaggerated," Wysession said. The three notable earthquakes that occurred at the end of 1811 and the beginning of 1812 were not magnitude 8s, rather magnitude 7s. So far we have reports of this being felt accross Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. This progress report summarizes the methodology and data used to generate these preliminary maps. 2008-04-18 09:36:59 UTC at 09:36 April 18, 2008 UTC Location: Epicenter at 38.452, -87.886 11.2 km from Mount Carmel (7.2 miles) Depth: 14 km
