There was an Earthquake this morning! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Tatsuya (620)5 months ago

At 5:37 this morning, I felt my bed shaking for about 45 seconds. It really freaked me out, because I thought someone had run into my building with their car. I turned on the news, and found out that it was an earthquake. Here's the news story:

Residents across the Wabash Valley are awakened by an earthquake at 5:37 a.m. Friday.

The U.S. Geologic Survey confirms that it was a 5.4 magnitude on the Richter scale. The center of it was 24 miles southwest of Vincennes, just inside the Illinois line, near West Salem. It was felt in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. For some people, it lasted 10 seconds. For others, as long as 45 seconds. If it stays at a 5.4 magnitude, this will be the strongest earthquake in Illinois history. The last Illinois earthquake with comparable magnitude was in Olney on June 10, 1987.

Man, it was freaky! Have you ever been in an earthquake before? What did you think?

I didnt know that earthquakes happened in Illinois it must not be too often that this happens. I have never had to experience this as im in Minnesota and I dont think they happen up here. I bet it had to be a little scary when you dont know what it is?

i like in muskegon, mi, and i was in a deep sleep. but many here in michigan in this area felt the tremors, and stuff did start shaking in there house. and there are reports of electricity that went out. in the community i live in i think they are testing the emergency alarm system now because i've been hearing the sirens for 5 minutes now, so i think they are preparing if more tremors takes place.

We felt it in Ohio. It was not bad here. I am glad I wasn't there and that everyone is fine. Hope you calm down soon.

I was asleep when it happened but my optometrist (and former boss) told me he felt it and we're down in Mississippi. I have never been near the epicenter of a quake but I have felt a mild shake before. I would think it would be really scary to be near the epicenter.
