earthquake (merged thread)

[GT_Jim]

So this morning we had a 5.4 earthquake, first time I have actually felt one in Indiana. Lasted about 10 secs. It was interesting to say the least and I don't think I would want to experience much more of one. No damage or injury have been reported so far. Apparently it was felt from St. Louis to mid Ohio and from KY to chicago.

yea felt that here in Belleville,IL near St.Louis,Mo

We felt it here in Bloomington, IN.
It freaked the wife out.

I guess theis here on campus shook pretty good.
I'm going to try to slip into a couple of the science buildings this morning and check out the seizmographs (IU has a couple in just about every building on campus). I want to see what a 5.4 earthquake looks like on paper!! I'll try to get pictures...

Crazy Wake Up This Morning

Had my first experience with an earthquake this morning at about 5:45am. Thought I was in the exorcist, bed was shaking and I could hear things rattling, measured 5.4.

NO Sh*t? I wondered what that was! Definitely weird feeling the entire house shake like that.

 

[darkhorse276]

Yeah I felt that one here. Shook the whole building pretty good. Apparantly it was a 5.4

 

[darkhorse276]

Yup we had a pretty good shake. Woke everyone up. Well, at least five people that I know for sure, but I haven't left my room.

It shook the house bad enough that it woke up the wife.
I was in the shower and didn't notice anything.

What is going on in Indiana this week?? Fighter planes shooting off flares, alleged ufo sightings, explosions and now an earthquake?!?!?! Maybe I'd better move to Cali, where it's safe. :dw:

A good jolt to get the old blood flowing this morning ..... Even the dog started freakin out.

I live in Kentucky for crying out loud!!

Al Gore must be right!!!

 

[SnkBtn99]

Not just in Indiana .... We got shook pretty good here in the 'Ville. Whole house was shaking .....

 

[SnkBtn99]

Bwhahahahahah .... The media coverage is so freakin ridiculous. They are out scouring the city looking for damage. They'll race up to something that looks damaged and come back and say "no, no, that looks like it has been there a while" and then move on ....

I hate the ****ing media !!!

 

[Juruense]

My whole house shook!

 

[firestang67]

[Sniperdog]

I heard it on the radio this morning.,. I didn't know there were fault lines in that area :shrug:

 

[97BlackCobra]

The dog's went crazy here in Northern Ky!! I always thought animals could sense earthquakes.

 

[akula51]

I move to STL to sleep through earthquakes. Priceless. Climate change is scary, I guess.

 

[CLN 6R]

People said they felt it in Columbia, MO (where Mizzou is located) I didn't feel a damn thing, I slept through it.

 

[blueovalfan]

[MonkeysL]
