23 earthquakes in four days have some Tri-Staters saying enough is enough

At least 23 earthquakes have shaken the Tri-State during the past four days, including the magnitude 5.2 shocker Friday and a 4.0 aftershock early Monday that was one of the strongest yet.

While all that shaking might be bad for Tri-State nerves, it could be good for science, some geologists say, and ultimately will help the area prepare for an even bigger earthquake in the future.

Geologists said the temblor just before 12:40 a.m. Monday registered magnitude 4.0 at its epicenter about five miles northwest of Mount Carmel, Ill.

Mondayâ??s aftershock was in the same area as Fridayâ??s quake, which itself was followed by a magnitude 4.6 aftershock 5½ hours later, along with a spate of smaller quakes throughout the weekend.

I heard of the two but 23! You'd think that this would be something that the news agencies would cover more.

Just hope this isn't the beginning for the big one.....

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
