I've been doing some browsing on the internet and examining temblor charts. I am amazed at how many quakes happen in a day. The map seems to light up every day with more and more strong earthquakes.

𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮 is known for their earthquakes. I used to live in Helena, Montana and never felt an earthquake. I would go down to Lincoln and play basketball. I lived over 10 years in Montana and never shook or noticed an earthquake.

Lincoln experienced a 3.0 earthquake just the other day. What's going on?

In July a rare magnitude 5.8 earthquakes struck southeast of Lincoln, Montana, briefly plunging a town into darkness and was powerful enough to knock down shelves and break glass, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was the largest earthquake in western Montana in nearly 60 years, according to the USGS.

A 76-year-old resident of Helena, which is about 34 miles away from the quake’s epicenter, told the Associated Press that the earthquake was the strongest seismic activity that he had ever felt.

There have been more than 70 quakes measuring larger than 4.5 in Montana and parts of Wyoming and Idaho since 1925, according to the USGS. The largest quake in state history was magnitude 7.2 in 1959 near west Yellowstone.

Earthquakes really hit home when family is involved. When will Lincoln let loose with the big one? To me it seems that the world is becoming locked and loaded for the Big One.
