Earthquake Capital of Ohio: Anna's Shaky History and NRC Study
In Anna, Ohio a small Shelby County town of about 800 residents has logged more than 30 earthquakes since 1875. Geologist Michael Hansen notes quakes mostly range around 3.2 but the 1937 quake reached 5.5, affecting nearby states, while NRC monitors study the cause. Local seismologists flag ongoing risk and rising insurance costs despite few large events.
