Last night Southern Illinois had an earthquake. Does anyone know the cause?
I felt it early this morning and I am in Chicago, I heard that people from Georgia to Wisconsin also felt it. Will these sorts of occurances happen more frequently? I never thought the midwest would experience something like this. Thoughts and answers???
It happened on the Wabash fault line, which is a northern extension of the New Madrid fault line.
I am just north of Chicago and didn’t feel anything, but I felt the 4.2 earthquake in 2004 that happened in north central Illinois.
