Well I find it less valid, Indiana is quite far from the New Madrid Seismic zone.
Great research though.
New research by U.S. Geological Survey scientists is casting doubt on the long-held idea that the New Madrid fault zone in Missouri’s Bootheel unleashed a series of devastating earthquakes in 1811-12.
In a new study, the researchers say the culprit may have instead been the Wabash Valley Fault line that runs through southern Indiana and Illinois.
Scientists say there hasn’t been a magnitude 6.0 earthquake on the New Madrid Fault in more than a century. But in the last 20 years, there have been at least three magnitude 5.0 or greater tremors along the Wabash Valley Fault.

Man I LOVE ATS!!
You guys are awesome. I always know that ATS has the best and brightest and that although there are some crazy claims and theories on aliens and hollow earth and whatever else, there area also people that research and dig and find all the facts and connections and formulate hardened theories!
Thank you for everyone's participation in this thread. I grew up on the Missouri/Arkansas/Oklahoma/Kansas border in the "Four State Area." The New Madrid Fault was always a concern for us. Now I live on the Gulf Coast and we have more immediate problems to deal with! It seems folks are being hammered from all sides with Man-made and Natural disasters, plus economic ones. Most interestingly though, all the disasters have connections back to big business! BP, Haliburton, Goldman Sachs, etc., etc. What the hell is going on with that? Earthquakes, financial crisis, oil spills, wars, and they all point back in one direction to one source?

Well, according to intellicast there hasn't been any activity? Odd cluster of small Earthquakes at extremely shallow depth in an entirely new area, and then they stop as quickly as they started?
Very odd? I will continue to watch.

I believe the quakes in White County are related to natural gas drilling. The reason why I believe that, is the fact that the quakes are shallow. If the quakes are occurring deep in the ground, it would likely eliminate natural gas drilling as a possible contributor. And as far as I know, natural gas drilling seems to be such a booming industry there that landowners are more than willing to lease their mineral rights to drilling companies.
White County is also one of 10 counties within the Fayetteville Shale, where there are more than 2,000 wells drilling for natural gas.

Well apparently you do not read to much on the internet.

Wabash Valley fault is new suspect in 1800's earthquakes.
Maybe you should apologize?

Well if they've set up the new monitoring site, I'm sure results will be coming at some point.
They should be able to tell if they are natural earthquakes, or a result of the gas drilling in the areas.

I wondered about TPTB hiding the quakes once they noticed we were watching it. I am reasonably certain that they monitor ATS so it makes sense that they may notice us referencing particular sources.

If I was an alien from Mars then I guess I would not be depended on gas or oil...
The 2,5 in Oklahoma, south of Fox seems to be close to a fault line and the depth are 5km, so might not be anything special about that one except that I don't recall many quakes in that area.

Wow, 4 more so far today, 1 near Fort Smith, 2 near Oklahoma city and 1 northwest(although a bit farther away) of Plano/Dallas area! Seems a small circle is forming that connects to the Oil Spill in the Gulf!

Both the Mariana and Marid fault extend out into the GOM.
Second line.
