New Madrid is down closer to the Gulf IIRC we are in Southern Ohio so I doubt New Madrid shakes us unless it is real big.
My std poodle is scared to death of the dishwasher sounds and thunder. He shakes like a leaf with those two things.
4th of July is really tough on him.
Wabash fault would give you a shake.
There was a 5.4 a few years ago that shook Cincinnatti, Evansville and even as far West as Cape Girardeau.
And, if we have a repeat of 1811-1812 New Madrid - then almost everything East of the Mississippi is going to move.
But animals close to the NMZ out where I live are not acting spooked, so you might a have a closer issue.
Maybe a bear came over from Pennsylticky? They spotted one in Brecksville, just South of Cleveland. Might be stinkin’ up the area?
Southern Ohio... any mining or fracking going on there?
New Madrid runs through Missouri not the gulf
The New Madrid fault is in Missouri. It is capable of generating an earthquake bigger than 8.0 on the Richter scale. If that fault springs to life, the people of Ohio would most definitely be adversely affected.
God help us all if that fault line comes to life. Like America doesn’t have enough problems.
New Madrid Fault line runs through Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi. If Ohio is affected, it’s the BIG one!
Correction, while the fault lies through the seven states mentioned, on December 16, 1811, the first of two quakes along the New Madrid also affected DC, Virginia, South Carolina and also forced the evacuation of Lebanon, Ohio.
IIRC, the larger quake of 1812 was felt all the way to Boston, where it rang church bells. The impact is greater because of the soil and ground structures etc in the Central USA.
Some think that sinkholes are an indication of future quakes. Had any sinkholes anywhere in Ohio recently?
Any how it will be a major problem, because so much transportation and pipelines go right through the New Madrid Fault zone. It is more active then many of the more famous fault lines in for example California, but the same size quake in Missouri will be felt further away.
