Magnitude 2.9 Earthquake at Caruthersville, Missouri

This morning a little after 4:00 there was a magnitude 2.9 earthquake near Caruthersville, Missouri.  We have had no reports of it  here at CERI but  there were some "Did You Feel It?" reports on the event page.  Just another reminder that the New Madrid seismic zone is still active and likes to give us early morning surprises.  For more information go to Missouri Earthquake
