Dr. David Miller, professor of geology at Clark State Community College, says due to the numerous faults, tectonic activity, and rock formation underneath Ohio, its not a matter of “if” Ohio will feel a moderate earthquake, but of “when.” “If you are in your twenties today, you will feel a significant earthquake in your lifetime, if you stick around in the Midwest, due to the New Madrid fault system that runs through Memphis, Tennessee and up to St. Louis,” Miller said. “The second risk will be some of the smaller faults that we have in Ohio.”
