Lake Michigan’s Hidden Quakes | Chicago News

A 2.9-magnitude earthquake rattled Lake Michigan’s North Shore suburbs — only the second ever recorded in the lake, but scientists suspect more may have gone unnoticed. Back in the early 1900s, detection was tough without modern seismometers, and most quakes then were 3.8+ magnitude. But since 2011, advanced tech like EarthScope and AI has uncovered smaller tremors, including recent ones near Wisconsin. Researchers are now exploring aftershocks, glacial rebound, and even climate change links — though tsunamis aren’t a concern here. More quakes in the lake? Possibly — and we’re just beginning to notice them. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
