Earthquakes occur in the New Madrid seismic zone every day. Most of them are so small (magnitudes 0, 1, 2...) that they can't be felt, only recorded by an instrument. The faults in the New Madrid seismic zone are active, producing these small events all the time. If you mean Madrid, Spain, you can do an earthquake search by googling "international seismological centre".

no ther wasnt an earthquake that i know of in jersey city but there was an aftershock from an earthquake from virginia felt in jersey city. the aftershock was in august 2011 but not sure what date. i think it was the 28. i know this because i actually felt it :)
The fault that caused the Christchurch earthquake, specifically the Port Hills Fault, last moved during the significant earthquake that struck on February 22, 2011. This earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 and resulted in widespread damage and loss of life in Christchurch, New Zealand. The fault movement during this event was part of the ongoing tectonic activity in the region.

New Zealand is on top of the "ring of fire" or Mid-Ocean Ridge.
The maximum measured intensity of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake in New Zealand was IX (9) on the Modified Mercalli scale.
britain is not on a tectonic plate boundary. so although we may feel little rumbles of the earth moving, we will never get a major earthquake unless a new plate boundary is formed under us. :)
Definitely. In February 2011, there was the Christchurch earthquake, which killed around 185, making it New Zealand's worst natural disaster in terms of loss of life in 80 years. This was preceded by the Canterbury earthquake in September 2010. Although this earthquake did not cause any loss of life, it was certainly the largest in 80 years to affect a major urban area.
