4.0 Earthquake on the New Madrid Fault Line

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Residents in the southeastern part of Missouri were shaken after an earthquake occurred along the New Madrid Fault Line shortly before 11 p.m. CT.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the earthquake was at 4.0 magnitude and had occurred approximately 11 miles before the surface of the Earth.

Not only did nearby residents feel the quake but reports from KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Missouri stated that residents living as far as Carbondale, Illinois were able to feel the quake.

No damages or injuries have been reported.

The New Madrid Fault Line stretches along the Mississippi River from near St. Louis to Memphis, Tennessee. According to the USGS, the New Madrid Fault is “the most seismically active in North America east of the Rockies.” They also report that earthquakes in the eastern and central part of the United States “can be felt over an area as much as ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast.”

  1. From the above mentioned 4.0 earthquake 3Km S of Steele, Missouri on April at 11:51 pm through Monday , April 6, 2015 at 11:29am there has been a total of earthquakes per the KY3 Weather radar in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas, was 34!. The area near Stillwater, OK has been bombarded with a series of shaking! The interesting thin that I noted is when you view the locations even stretching to a quake near Cleveland, TN during this time frame is they all lie in the same general latitude belt around the earth! It is my understanding a new fault line has been discovered in Oklahoma.
