Will there be an earthquake in Zhongxiang?

It will happen, and these are recorded in history. Read the article below

Hubei belongs to the seismic zone of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is located at the intersection of the North China Fault Block and the South China Fault Block. Faults are developed. There are mainly three groups of northwest-northwest trending, northeast trending and nearly east-west trending for nearly 30 years. The strip activity is broken. Mainly distributed in western Hubei and the line from Macheng, Huanggang and Xianning to Chongyang. Since the Late Tertiary, some of these active fault sites have been active, while others have been intermittently active. According to historical records: From 143 BC to 1985, there were 397 earthquakes in Japan, of which 33 were destructive earthquakes of magnitude 4.7 or above, causing heavy losses. Among them, the ruins of damage caused by the Xianfeng earthquake have been preserved to this day.
