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.

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....
