Earthquake Registered in Gulf of America

(KTDY) - Another earthquake was registered off the Gulf Coast, and now many are asking why there are so many earthquakes happening in the Deep South.

In recent weeks, we have reported on several earthquakes in Central and North Louisiana, and while no serious damage has been reported as a result, many are asking what is really going on.

Well, according to the USGC, another earthquake happened Sunday night in the Gulf, approximately 300 miles off the Mississippi coast. The tremors were recorded Sunday night at 9:22 pm, and there was no threat of a tsunami for those along the Gulf Coast.

While only a handful of earthquakes have ever been recorded out in the Gulf, knowing that a 3.9 earthquake just occurred out there is a bit alarming. I wonder if anyone working on oil rigs or oil platforms felt anything? Perhaps if you did, you could report your experience in the comment section on the social media page that linked you to this story.
