(Missourinet) Are you ready to rumble?

The annual Great Central U.S. Shakeout earthquake drill was scheduled for 10:17 a.m. Thursday.

“Earthquakes are unique. We have no time to prepare,” says Jeff Briggs, the earthquake program manager with the State Emergency Management Agency.

We have had four earthquakes measuring 4.5 magnitude or greater in Missouri’s New Madrid zone since 1974. Learn more about the earthquake drill here.
