Earthquake? What earthquake? I didn't feel a thing.

5.2 and I didn't feel a thing. LOL And I'm 40-45 miles north of Chicago. Was still awake and on the couch at 4:3am or there abouts.at the time. If they felt it in Chicago and in Milwaukee, you'd think I'd of felt it being in between the two cities? But nooooooooo. lol
WOW, it's always something somewhere isn't it?

In Madison, Wisconsin, I didn't feel anything, unless you all felt the fart I left in the seat of the car at around 0430?

I think the odds are good that New Madrid will shake you again real soon.

Felt it in central IL. I live close to a train track, this was a bit different. I was at my brohters house this evening. He told me the first thing he did was reach for his gun. I told him I did the samr thing. My sisiter in law just laughed and said we were definitely related. It felt like someone was shaking the bed lightly like you do when trying to wake someone.

Surprised you didn't feel it even more since you're closer to it. A controller at O'Hare said the tower swayed and it was like being on the end of a fishing pole. lol Said it was centered five miles from a town called Bellmont, on the Indiana/Illinois border.

Nope didnt feel it. But on the news they said a huge green cloud of poison gas was moving into Minnesota from the direction of Madison WI.
