Illinois, Missouri and Indiana

[Bobbie47]

did you feel the earthquake. I think the news just said Evansville Indiana was the center a 5.4.

I'm in SW Illinois by St. Louis and felt it.

1. Epicenter was near Olney, IL...

2. Wonder if its the Wabash fault

[Nickster]

3. Still trying to figure out if I felt it or not. I woke up and heard tapping at the same time as the

quake, nothing major, I'm far north suburbs by the Wisconsin border. Listening to the news right now, some reports coming in from nearby towns, so it may have been what I heard.

8. If you're near Milwaukee, you did. n/t

4. I live in Tennessee

About 35 minutes northwest of Nashville, and I felt it.

5. I felt it here in central Illinois

In another thread a poster from Ohio and a poster from the north Chicago suburbs near the Wisconsin border felt it as well: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3174345&mesg_id=3174364

6. Yes, I felt it in Indianapolis. n/t

[AngryOldDem]

9. Local news crawler in Dayton says there's damage there...

Broken windows downtown?

[JTFrog]

17. Haven't been downtown yet this morning. Will be going shortly.

Nothing broken here. Was quite a shake but no damage, nothing fell off my shelves (north Indy, near Carmel).

I noticed no car alarms went off which I found rather unusual. I'm originally from So. California and have been through major earthquakes there. Thought I knew what it was right away until my bird went absolutely nuts. That probably freaked me out more than anything else, lol.

10. Delete, dupe post

14. Did you feel the explosion on the 16th?

The one in Kokomo that they called a plane crash, but now changed it to "meteor"?

[JTFrog]

16. Actually no I didn't feel that one, but I did read about it. n/t

[Kindigger]

7. I'm not crazy?

I'm in SE Iowa. My computer chair felt like it was moving, and I have a cement floor. I was :wtf:

23. Stay on topic please.

If you want to discuss your sanity please start another thread.

11. I felt it near St. Louis

Big story on the local St. Louis news.

It was noticeable and pretty clearly an earthquake, but I doubt there was damage here.

[HeeBGBz]

12. I'm in southern Missouri

I didn't feel anything but our local news is buzzing with reports from people who did that live just east of us.

[liberal N proud]

13. Local Cleveland TV station was claiming they felt it this AM

[dmkinsey]

15. I felt it, Kalamazoo, MI

Mild but disconcerting. I could hear my house vibrating,quite keen for it to stop.

[kevinbgoode]

18. I'm in Carbondale

And it was strange. . .it woke me up and I could feel it - my first thought was "is there a sudden big storm going on outside?" ...and then I knew it was an earthquake. I'm on the ground floor of a building and I could feel the building sort of vibrate - like a large train was going by right outside the building. . .

It's a strange feeling, but I didn't panic - things stayed on my bookshelves and stuff - I didn't even think of going outside or anything.

I'm glad I don't live in the high-rise dorms. . .

22. We just had a pretty amazing aftershock!

I was at the computer and watched my window shaking. . .

[JoDog]

19. Felt it near the Wisconsin border

Felt the rattle in my bed. Thought it was an overzealous street sweeper at work.

[tkmorris]

20. My wife said she felt it in Decatur

She's on a business trip visiting Archer Daniels Midland. Said it woke her up.

I assume this quake was along the New Madrid Fault? My understanding is that that fault has the potential to produce an extremely severe quake, in an area that is not built to withstand them.

[DemReadingDU]

21. I felt it in SW Ohio, n/t

[Contrary1]

24. No earth quake for me in Indianapolis...

It's been years since the hubby has been able to...

Oh, you meant "earthquake".




Never mind.
