I know this isn't weather related, but it's a science thing, and I figured it would be interesting for you weather blog fans. Another fairly significant earthquake occured near Evansville Indiana this morning. At 12:38 A.M local time a 4.5 magnitude earthquake shook the midwest. I'm not a geologist, or seismologist, but this is definitely an interesting development for what had been a fairly quiet seismic zone for a while. Here is a link to an interesting article showing two sides to what could be happening near the once very active New Madrid fault zone. Our weather will turn to a more late spring like pattern this week. That means warm temperatures, a few afternoon storms, and of course, MORE HUMIDITY!! Have a great week!
