"[I] felt it in New Madrid sounded like a big clash of thunder & a little shake happened like a semi truck passing by," Mark Kientzy said in a comment on Facebook.
A man and his son were installing a water line at the New Madrid Airport on Wednesday, right in the center of the quakes. While William Kosky, Jr. said he didn't feel any while he was working, he said he felt several on Tuesday night at his home.
New Madrid County, Missouri has a shaky history, with the most violent series of earthquakes ever recorded in the United States hitting in New Madrid in about a seven week stretch between 1811 and 1812, according to the USGS.

These quakes are not a good sign in that area because of its history. However, if you follow the earthquake map link you will not only see the handful of quakes noted here but you will also see hundreds of quakes, many magnitude four or better which dot the landscape between Wichita and Oklahoma City. No seismic zones there, so what causes that?
