A strong earthquake, measuring 6.0 on the Richter Scale, occurred just before 10 a.m. today under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Geological Survey is reporting.
No land damage was reported from the temblor, which had its epicenter 253 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola, Fla., the government agency said. That put the quake about 329 miles southeast of New Orleans.
But nearly 2,000 people across stretches of Florida, Georgia and Alabama said they felt the quake, and reported it. The agency had fielded 1,787 reports from nearly 540 ZIP codes by 1 p.m.
"This is the largest of more than a dozen shocks that have been instrumentally recorded from the eastern Gulf of Mexico in the past three decades, and it is the most widely felt," the agency issued in a statement. "The most recent significant earthquake in the region occurred on Feb. 10 and had a magnitude of 5.2."
The earthquake was not associated a specific fault, and was termed a "midplate" earthquake, which the agency said "are much less common than earthquakes occurring on faults near plate boundaries, and most probably represent the release of long-term tectonic stresses that ultimately originate from forces applied at the plate boundary."
The agency added that an earthquake of this magnitude, while capable of being felt, is unlikely to generate a destructive tsunami, and added that in this case "no significant tsunami was generated."
Few, if any reports were made by people in Louisiana, but the state isn't immune to earthquakes.
The most destructive historic earthquakes with its epicenter in the state occurred on Oct. 19, 1930, near Napoleonville, in Assumption Parish. With a magnitude of 4.2, it damaged chimneys and broke windows at Napoleonville and cracked plaster at White Castle, northwest of Napoleonville. The severity of the shaking caused many people to rush out of their homes and into the streets in alarm, the agency reported.
Historically, the most several earthquake in this region was the New Madrid earthquake on Feb. 7, 1812, the fourth of a series that occurred over a two-year period.
At a magnitude of 8, it was about 100 times as powerful as the one reported today in the Gulf of Mexico, and it destroyed at least one town, New Madrid, Mo. The quake also leveled many house in St. Louis, and caused widespread ground warping, ejections, fissuring, landslides and caving of stream banks.
