Intensities versus hypocentral distance for the 1947 Wisconsin earthquake (small dots represent individual locations, large dots with error bars represent average values ±1 standard deviation within logarithmic distance bins), bin‐averaged DYFI intensities for the 2010 M 3.8 northern Illinois earthquake (red dots), 2013 M 3.2 earthquake in northern Illinois (blue dots), and 2015 M 4.2 earthquake in northern Michigan (purple dots). For the 1947 earthquake, distances are calculated from the estimated location in central Milwaukee, assuming a 3 km source depth. The solid line shows predicted intensities for intensity magnitude 3.7 using the intensity prediction equation of Atkinson and Wald (2007), assuming a 3 km depth.
