How weird it was! I felt it in Bloomington thinking we had strong winds (as I heard the walls responding like to a hard wind!)
Then, Silver called... So I felt it at least 120 miles away!
This is the 3rd 4.5+ quake in Southern Indiana in 5 years. The last one was 5.0. This one is a 5.4!
We left Memphis to get away from the New Madrid fault...and have experienced 3 quakes since...
Check the map...weird seeing a big block in the midwest!

I'm going to Champaign/Urbana today...interesting to see how much they felt it there.

I felt it in central Missouri. Up early and I couldn't figure out why my dishes were rattling. It was very subtle, the house was creaking and earthquake crossed my mind as I knew my coffee pot wasn't doing it. I forgot about it until the news came on. Yes, it did last awhile!

I think I remember reading somewhere that there has never been an earthquake in North Dakota.
Another plus is that there is plenty of daylight for evening rides...in the summer it stays light until nearly eleven at night!
