I was making my coffee as the house began to shake. It really caught me off guard. I found myself saying was that an earthquake....Guess what dumba*& it was.

What's an earthquake?




Actually that's a pretty good rumbler for that part of the country.

Re: Who felt the earthquake in Indiana

i've never been in one. hell, if the ground moved our house would probably just slide around...

how much does stuff move? an inch?half an inch? can you feel it or is it like being under a bridge when a train passes by?

[Robert1320]

Re: Who felt the earthquake in Indiana

Felt like everything was moving back and forth about 4-6 inches @ 2-3 times a second.

I have a few friends from the T-Bird club in the St. Louis MO area, and also in Springfield IL ... they all felt it apparently.

Re: Who felt the earthquake in Indiana

I'm in Western Iowa, on the MO river, and both me and the GF felt it this morning. Out this far, it was like a 20-second "thunder" that shook the house ever so slightly. It was out of place as there weren't "thunderstorms" here this morning, I figured it was either a large military jet in the distance, or a small quake. Having lived in CA for a while, I know what those feel like now. heh.

Was that the headboard mirror, or the mirror on top of the dresser?

Makes you question the "Terra Firma" theory!

We get them in the Seattle area on a fairly regular basis, still gives you the heebies though!

The worst one I've experienced was in Nagoya, Japan. 5.6 about 150km away, I was in the hotel on the 36th floor! The building swayed back and forth for about 5min., spooky.

Re: Who felt the earthquake in Indiana

Here is a good one for you - The largest earthquake in the lower 48 since the US was settled by Europeans.

New Madrid Missouri - Northwest Arkansas -1811. 8.1 - 10 times larger than the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Several Large ones after that in 1811 and 1812.

The Mississippi river appeared to move backwards from the wave action. New lakes were formed. One lake in Arkansas had its depth increased by 25'. etc.....
