Admin Please let people respond for 24hrs... Then you can delete this whole post... I'm well aware this forum is strictly SSM but I'm trying to get an idea here on the affected areas

Sorry guys I'm tired and I thought we had a discuss anything section but I'm either wrong or just that tired... But heres what I'm getting at I live in Evansville Indiana and at 4:40am I was sitting on my comp when we were struck by a 5.4 earthquake.. The epicenter was only 38 miles W/NW of here in Illinois... It was felt as far as West Virgina!! Just wondering who else felt it? If so where are you at? And if effected is everyone ok in your area? All is well here my house is fine and minimal damage has been reported to a few buildings in the city

I live near Chicago and work overnights... And it was the wierdest thing in the world to feel the earth move ever so slightly under your feet. Earthquake confirmed.

Copy that USA~Driver I heard the local news say Chicago felt it too!! It's the 3rd one I've felt here but this was the longest one almost a minute long and it was steady... The other two hit and tapered off in short order.. This hit and didn't settle down as time passed.. It was the same intensity for the entire quake and then *snap* it was over... No gradual drop in seismic activity just the same 5.4 all the way through!! Even the people that live here I know from CA said this didn't feel like any quake from there...

I was outdoors and thought something was wrong with me.. Kinda Like I had lost my balance for a bit..It wasnt until later I put A and B together when i heard it Break on the news. No damage, Just alot of raised eyebrows...

The US Geological Survey has a site that you can send in reports to about if you felt the quake or not.  Plus they have maps showing where all the reports came from.  They had several from around here and I live 415 miles away.
