- 1916_Irondale_earthquake abstract "The 1916 Irondale earthquake struck north–central Alabama on October 18, 1916. The greatest earthquake recorded in state history, it registered an estimated magnitude of 5.1 on the Richter scale and resulted in extensive minor damage. Damage reached its maximum severity near the epicenter in the city of Irondale; it included cracked windows, fallen chimneys, and the dried-up wells. All damage was limited to Shelby and Jefferson counties. There were no fatalities, but the earthquake resulted in widespread panic, sending alarmed workers from tall buildings.The earthquake originated from the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, a fault noted for earthquakes of moderate magnitude. Faulting in the area is strike-slip-oriented probably because of the Alabama-New York Lineament, which runs adjacent to the fault. Several scientists believe that the small earthquakes from the zone highlight the reactivation of deep, ancient faults.Alabama has seen roughly 20 earthquakes since the beginning of the 20th century. In recorded time the earthquakes have been moderate, never reaching above magnitude 5.1. Earthquakes tend to cause damage only near their epicenters and shake areas much further away. Major events include those in 1916, 1997, and 2003. Despite the lack of powerful earthquakes centered in the state, earthquakes from nearby fault zones, including the New Madrid Seismic Zone, pose a serious threat to infrastructure; even an earthquake similar in size to the 1916 Irondale event today could damage thousands of buildings and cause up to $1 billion in damage.".

Report in Press-Register, February 1886".
