Mom called my brother in Virden, IL (30 min. from Springfield) and he said their whole house shook...he put his hand on the wall and felt the vibration.

No damage, thank the Lord...

There is some damage in St. Louis (35 miles southwest of us).

I know of no damage here.

Everyone will be jittery for a while now.

Most folks don't realize that we have a huge fault here in the Midwest named the New Madrid fault. This fault created the largest earthquake in U.S. history way back in the early 1800's. It caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards, created Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and rang bells in Philadelphia.

Geologists have been predicting a massive Midwest quake for years.

My brother is an engineer and runs a train out of Indiana.

He said that he felt it on the train. He didn't pay much attention to it because other trains, etc can make the ground shake.

YIKES!

My sister is in Evansville, IN and my brother in St. Louis. I need to see if they felt anything. Think I'll call them!

It woke me up about 4:30 in Finley, Tennessee with my bed rocking. I didn't know what had happened until I heard the news reports.

This sounds like it was wide spread. Thank God it was'nt a bigger one!

Re: Minor Earthquake!!
 

It woke my daughter up in St. Louis - - she said her bed was shaking and she didn't know what it was - she was scared to death!

Hey I did not wake up... but I did have a strange dream, does that count?

I hardly ever dream at all.
