Did Y'all Feel That?

[Greg Cook]

Who else was wake to feel the earthquake this morning.  I felt some kind of shaking going on, so I woke my wife up (her coffee was ready)   ;)
She felt it too, so I wasn't hallucinating!
Did some quick searching, finally found a seismographic site,  earthquake.usgs.gov

Saw there was a Magnitude 5 at 4:37 my time centered 6 miles ESE of Salem, IL  and 6 miles below ground.

First glance at the map I thought it was close to Cedarman.
I guess it was close enough for him

Hope no one is injured.

Anyway, I've always wanted to be first to post some news on the board, so I'm done now! 8)

My wife and I felt it 3 miles north of Odon, IN. We are about 60 miles from the epicenter.

[Faron]

Ditto in Otwell / Petersburg IN.  I watched the clock, and it said 5:36when it started, and 5:38 when the shaking stopped, so it shook for over a minute here.  We were in a second story bedroom, so it might have been amplified a little.  I believe it is the strongest I have ever felt.  By 5:40 I was reporting on the earthquake site. ;D  My daughter says her heeler dog whined and acted odd all day yesterday.  Mine didn't want to get out of the truck last night. ???

Felt it here, 120 miles from the epicenter. Rattled the windows pretty good and made the hardwood floors squeak (the floor part was weird, kinda spooky) . Startled my dogs too.

[SwampDonkey]

Oh, that was just a small one. ;D

The real early one around 1900 mentioned in the above article damaged the western foundation of my house. The house settled 2 inches on that end.

They say the quake was felt here, but I didn't feel a thing.  I sleep hard.

All of the pictures are still on the walls......

[Faron]

It is now reported that there were two related quakes at the same time, downgraded to 5.2 from 5.4.  Some small damage in our area, and reports of a collapsed or damaged building in Louisville Ky.

Well we are pretty close to salem and we sure felt it, I woke up this morning to the sound of the "Good" china making noise in the hutch, it was kinda freaky, fire pager didn't go off so I guess no buildings fell  ;D

[bioguy]

Had some shaking here in Southern Michigan too, enough to rattle the windows.

I rolled over and asked Lori if she put a quarter in the bed post :D

Nice way to wake up, eh  ;)

[faronskid]

I had screaming kids running everywhere.  Two of the kids were in bed with me and I grabbed them and rolled out of bed with them and by the time I made it to my bedroom door two more were running across the house screaming.  The fifth one slept through the whole thing.  After it was over my oldest said "Mom, that was cool."  I asked him if it was so cool then why was he screaming like a little girl.  He said "well it was a little scary."     My two year old keeps saying "ooohhh shake me scary." :D

Or is St. Loius 50 miles east of you??   ???

[pigman]

I felt the one this morning and just felt another smaller one a few minutes ago. I thinking Faron or someone else down that way are just stomping their feet. ;)

In Western NC mountains [Hendersonville]
Heard the house creak like a heavy gust of wind, then the  lamp shade started rocking and rolling next to my chair.

Glad to know I was not going batty. (never mind what my wife says)

[Grawulf]

I just thought it was the flying squirrels in the roof rafters until I listened closer and noticed it was glass making noise!

Had another nice reminder about 45 minutes ago.  Never seen a 55 year old man run for a doorway like I did today.  And who says this ain't a fun job. 8)

[SwampDonkey]

Don't lose your heads over that little shake, this old farm house has been through worst. ;D

Are ya feelin left out??

[limbrat]

We had a 4 down here last year but the hundereds of feet of soil between the top and the bedrock muffled it no one felt it.

[sbishop]

Swamp, I remember that earthqake in 82....I was just a young fella but i remember i was in the old house (110 years old) upstairs in my parents room, we were moving at the time to our new house) I couldn't stand up on my own...had to lay on the floor, almost everything fell from the walls....

Glad everyone was ok!

My wife said the lamp by our bed was shaking.  She was thinking at first that my snoring was causing it and then decided I'd left the window open.  It wasn't till we were watching the news about an hour later that she had to admit that it wasn't my falt at all. ;D  We are in south central Mo.,  close to the Arkansas line.

[SwampDonkey]

Beenthere, nope. Not alone. Just rallying the troops. As the President said, we'll just keep on like business as usual, or something to that effect in 2001. ;)
