Apparently it was felt through a really huge radius, so it was pretty powerful. Anybody else happen to experience this, or was I the only one awake at that point? |
Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
People at my office all the way up in Madison, WI felt the earthquake. I wasn't awake at the time though.

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
Yeah, I'm in Southern Illinois right now.....

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
Apparently we could even feel tremors in Southern Ontario.
( I didn't notice anything ) According to the article though, it could even be felt in Florida. So it's not that surprising. Pretty scary though, to be so close. |
Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
5.2? That's it? Man you guys should come visit California...

I've lived here for 17 years and I haven't experienced one earthquake. It's not that there haven't been plenty, they've probably been to small or happened at the wrong time. I actually kind of envy you guys, to be honest, I've always wanted to feel an earthquake. Well... as long as my house doesn't collapse :) |
Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
I'm pretty sure that I was awake for this, but if I did feel/hear anything I probably just passed it off as city noises.

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
I felt this in Columbus, Ohio at approximately 5:40 this morning... It woke me up, I was pissed =( But yeah I had no idea what was going on, I actually thought someone was trying to break into my house lol. An earthquake was the last thing on my mind, let alone one from so far away.

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
Is it a sign of obsession that when I saw "Earthquake rocks southern..." as a thread title I thought it was going to be about "Southern Cross"?
--- Anyways, here in WA, earthquakes are few and far between. I've always wanted to experience one... |
Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
LOL, My mom asked if I felt the earthquake this morning. I thought is was a train. Then it happened again at school, and the music stands in orchestra were shaking, and a couple sheets of music fell of. Oh, and this was in St. Louis county, so we were kind of close.

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
I'm up in central IL and apparently we felt it at 4am, and people would not stop talking about it all day long. Quite annoying.
|
Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
People over here felt it too. I wasn't awake at the time though. :(

Re: Earthquake rocks southern Illinois
Glad i was not there to witness it myself, i heard it was a 5.2 on the Richter Scale. Pretty bad.
