So, the latest Louisiana earthquake was a lot of nothing. A simple, little 3.0 on the Richter scale measuring their severity. A few folks in the Blanchard area felt the minor tremor, basically the equivalent of being in a car when the engine starts, but there were no reports of damage, much less injury.
Here s what KEEL News reported earlier Thursday:
There was an earthquake in our region while you were sleeping. The United States Geological Survey says the quake measured 3.0 on the Richter scale which is a very mild tremor. It happened at about 2:30 Thursday morning.
But what about the history of earthquakes in our state. Is it possible that, as Louisiana lies just south of the east to west New Madrid fault line, could someday experience an earthquake similar to California, much less hotspots like Indonesia or Haiti?
