Minor Earthquake!!
Gang, we just had a minor earthquake here. The whole house was shaking for about 20-30 seconds. It scared the heebie jeebies out of my son and my wife. There is no damage to the house that I know of. There are a lot of really old houses around here. I hope no one has been injured. I turned my scanner on and will keep y'all posted.

Wow. You live at least 150 miles from me too. Here's information on where it was centered.

Re: Minor Earthquake!!
It woke people up as far away as Wabash, Indiana too. There's someone that posts on another forum I'm on that's from there.

Re: Minor Earthquake!!
Our local news report moments ago said that the quake started here in downtown Flint through to Evansville, Indiana.
I didn't feel anything shaking...woke up a couple of times, but it was just excitement about our trip this weekend I think.
Going to call my brother in Anderson now...

Re: Minor Earthquake!!
I'm in Louisville, KY, felt my bed shaking violently for over 5 seconds...
Didn't put in together that there had been an earthquake until I turned on the news.
My 13 year old remarked that's the way it's going to be when Jesus comes, it will just happen....
