Yesterday we had a small earthquake in Lake Michigan adjacent to Chicago. It was a 2.6. Nothing to be particularly concerned about.
I grew up in St. Louis where 4s or 5s are pretty commonplace. The Chicago metropolitan area has an earthquake every couple of years, typically in the 2-4 range.
The significance of this and why I’m calling attention to it is that Venezuela has had two major quakes and there was a notable earthquake in Northern California not long ago. The earth’s crust is interconnected. We should keep our eyes open and be ready for something really big.
