The April 1st Steele Missouri Earthquake(Magnitude 4.0)

April 1st passed quietly at CERI until late in the evening when the New Madrid seismic zone decided announce its presence once again. At 10:51 in the evening an magnitude 4.0 earthquake occurred near Steele, Missouri. It was felt regionally and in the Memphis area.  This is just another reminder that the New Madrid seismic zone remains active and produces earthquakes that can be felt above the ones that we record just instrumentally.  For further information look at the event page Steele Missouri Earthquake
