Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Missouri is worse than California?
Keep in mind this is highest ever, not a combination of frequency and magnitude.
California has a much higher frequency of quakes, and they have multiple high magnitude quakes on a fairly regular basis.
Missouri's highest scoring quakes were from the early 1800s. They don't have frequent high magnitude quakes in the recent past.
So if you want to experience a scary quake within the next year your best option is to go to California.
So Missouri is about due for a serious earthquake and the building over 10 stories and the corn will be devastated.
Yeah the New Madrid fault also shows another issue with the map - it's measured by epicenter. Several of the New Madrid earthquakes were worse than 4.7 in parts of Tennessee, but those are ignored.
New Madrid fault line babyyy
Definitely not. The geology of California and the rest of the PNW is wild. I suspect this map only shows the strongest recorded events. There are heaps of geological evidence that the PNW regularly experiences 9.0+ thrust fault earthquakes, but the timescales on which they happen are way outside how long we've been measuring this stuff. Check out Full Rip 9.0 if you want to read more about it.
