Tremors Shake Western Missouri on Christmas Morning
Western Missouri experienced two earth tremors on Christmas morning with possible centers near Nevada or Joplin. University geophysicists and Kansas University officials said initial seismic readings place the origin in the Nevada Joplin area. Researchers planned field interviews to gauge tremor intensity and confirm location while St Louis University circulated postcards to editors seeking reports from western Missouri. Seismographs recorded the events as far as California with first readings around 6 a.m. and shortly before 7 a.m.
