Indiana and a number of neighboring states experience earthquakes, which in modern times have been small and nondestructive. It is unusual to have a major fault in the middle of a continent, but that does exist in this region.
Southern Indiana is close to the New Madrid fault. New Madrid, now in Missouri, was the location of the New Madrid earthquakes, 1811-1812, which historical accounts suggest were the largest ever recorded in the eastern US and possibly the largest in North America. The fault is now well mapped and the active area includes several neighboring states and much of Indiana.

Are earthquakes common in Indiana?
Earthquakes in Indiana are relatively uncommon compared to more seismically active regions like California. However, the state does experience small earthquakes occasionally, with the most notable being the 2008 magnitude 5.4 quake centered near the Illinois border. While significant quakes are rare, Indiana is located near the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which means it can experience tremors from distant seismic activity. Overall, while not frequent, earthquakes can and do occur in Indiana.

Can there be earthquakes in Indiana?
Yes, Indiana can experience earthquakes, although they are relatively infrequent and typically of low magnitude. The state is located near several fault lines, including the New Madrid Seismic Zone to the south. While most earthquakes in Indiana are minor and go unnoticed, there have been a few instances of stronger tremors, with the most notable being the 5.4 magnitude quake in 2008 near the Illinois border. Overall, the seismic risk in Indiana is lower compared to more earthquake-prone regions.
