| Earthquake Shock Waves Felt Here.. I hope all of U in West Salem, IL is okay. We live in Seymour, Indiana & this morning @ 5:45 I was woke up by a big boom and vibrations, my Yorkies was all barking to death. Then I thought it was Teddy and Galahad moving around in their playpens, I told them to be still, then I realized it wasn't them, then I thought one of my girls had fallen out of bed so I went in & ask both of them did U fall out of bed, no was their reply or my hubby had went to work & slammed the door (I have a little star hanging on our door knob) I got up and looked, no our truck still setting there. Then I thought oh no someones' breaking into our tool trailer, no no one breaking in. Ask hubby if he had hit the wall since I was on the couch sleepin' due to his snoring and he said no. Then my daughter calls me at 6:30 am & told me about the earthquake. The news just said for us to walk around our house and make sure there is nothing fallen off of the walls. This is scarry to me girls. Isn't it awful what thoughts goes through our minds when something like this happens. I hope everyone in IL is okay. U're all in our thoughts and prayers today! |

| Are U all okay there? I know it scared me, my Sister just called me and said it was the earthquake I felt here. Here I'm thinking it's the shock waves. I don't know but they say we could feel more shock waves today. Now I worry about my girls going to school. I just pray everyone is okay thorugh all this. |

| We felt it here in Central Illinois too at about 4:30 our time. It shook the whole house pretty hard, shook the bed, rocked the Grandfather clock and moved a few things around in the house. Once I realized what it was it was pretty scary! We've seen pretty good sized waves coming from the center of the lake since we moved here but no one knows why it happens...now I wonder if it isn't little tremors. Gee...maybe it's time to move! Anybody want to buy a log cabin on a lake? |

| hmmmmm i wonder if thats why 2 of my dogs woke us up at 4:30, i know we are way to far away to feel anything but its strange that they woke up at that time. i do know that the fault line does run up through wisconsin. i to hope everyone and their houses are fine

| We felt it here in SW Indiana. It woke both myself and my husband up out of a sound sleep. Poor Daisy was scared to death. She was between us barking and growling. Abby slept right through it. Until I read this, I really didn't know what happened. I thought it might have been an earthquake, but wasn't sure. Glad that damage was minimal.

| I'm in IL but north of Chicago, I didn't feel anything, but then again I was sleeping. I hope all you guys who did feel it are o.k and that there's no damage in your houses.

| No wonder we felt it here in Evansville! "The epicenter of the earthquake was about three miles below ground, six miles northwest of Mount Carmel, Illinois, and 38 miles north-northwest of Evansville, Indiana, according to the USGS."
