Swarm NOW at New Madrid!!!? 5.4 at Columbia! AND a 2.9 Near Yankton, SD

There is a lot going on with earthquakes right this moment so please stay tuned!!! Especially early this week with the full moon quickly sneaking up on us up there right this moment where it is high in the sky as I am writing late Friday/early Saturday and the full moon window will start Thursday at 5:55pm CST on February 13. With all the shaking now going on if the big one has not struck by Thursday. . . then that could be the day! BUT looking at the way Yankton, South Dakota shook Friday, and albeit a tiny swarm at Ridgley, Tennessee or New Madrid you might as well say are all shaking not to mention a 5.4 with a huge felt report from Bogata, Columbia!!!

Ridgley, Tennessee is right across the Mississippi River from New Madrid and a few miles south and it is my opinion that it's VERY unusual for any of those towns to get a "Swarm" but there were like five or six shakers over a few hour period there on Friday albeit tiny ones, I submit to you that it is a sign there may be way more of them coming! So continue to watch the New Madrid area very, very closely since the sum total we are watching for is 7.6 to 9 Richters and New Madrid is very much a player in all of this!!! Here is what the swarm looks like so far, I will update as they come in and hopefully it will not be the entire Mammoth Lakes Swarm traveling to New Madrid!!!

Noticed they add up to 4.7 Richters, but let us watch for more! The Mammoth Lakes swarm that didn't actually even start until the end of the Virginia City Swarm had ended, and is still continuing on as I write! I will have to update it again at some point but please know and understand this swarm WILL MIGRATE and either be a swarm or a Major Earthquake at some other point such as Geysers, Eureka, Lompoc, Salton Sea, Lenox, or Coso Junction as well as there are a few other places all this shaking could transpire at NEXT!!! Be Watching!!! And Stay Tuned to this EQ Blog!!! EQ Guy
