Yes, we felt it in central Indiana. It woke me up.

Felt it here in middle Tennessee

Nope..we're way out here in earthquake land..southern California. Was any significant damage done? :(
-
I felt it. I live in Southern Illinois. I think it's a big deal because we aren't used to earthquakes around here. People in Cali have an earthquake like 20x more a year than we do. It was creepy and I've decided I really don't like earthquakes. lol

Yep. I heard that it was near Salem, Illinois. I hope everything's OK at home, Cinja. :)

I had not heard about it. Hope everyone is safe! That part of the country is not used to something like that. On the west coast we are used to it. Was it a snapper or a roller?

No but then I have not hd my tv on yet today.

yes........When I was in Japan I was able to experience a 5.0 Let me tell you why it was scary: One thing we have that we feel safe about is the ground.......When that starts to go...it's a very scary feeling. A cool place to be in an EQ is in a grocery store....you can see the direction of the shockwave as you see all the food move.

I slept right through that sucker!

Yes, we were conveniently talking about lateral quake induced loads in my building structures classes and the subject came up about the quake this morning and how the codes for the Great Lakes reggion will likely be changing due to the slight increase in seismic activity in the region.
