New Madrid Quake Shakes Missouri Friday Night – Felt By Hundreds
Well, this was much larger than usual. One of the largest quakes of 2023 has hit the New Madrid Fault in Missouri late Friday night and has reportedly been felt by hundreds.
This quake was reported by the USGS at 9:59 pm Friday night, October 20, 2023. As of this writing, it's been confirmed as a 3.3 magnitude quake and has been felt by more than 200.
No damage has been reported and I wouldn't expect there would be any as a 3.3 magnitude quake is normally not serious enough to affect a building or any structures. I searched the USGS database and confirmed that this is the strongest New Madrid quake of 2023 so far.
The "Felt Map" shared by the USGS shows this 3.3 quake was felt as far away as north of Poplar Bluff even.
As this is a developing story, it will be updated if any new information is released about this late night seismic activity.
