had a couple of quakes today in southern illinois i just felt one up here at about 10:20 or so a bigger one hit about 4 this mornin
i went to the usgs page and found out that the one at 4 in the am was a magnitude 5 and the one around 10:30 was a 4.5 they were centered near Vincennes, IN here is the link http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/us2008qzbx.php
these were centered about 35 miles from me and liked to shook me and the wife out of bed, came downstairs and watched the local news to see what had aucttuly had happened. Was at work when othere one hit and it shook the concret floor and all the stuff on the wall. Now that was fun:tounge_out:
Was here on the computer when the first one hit.... 4:37 a.m. ...... it was unnerving to say the least... never felt the second one.. I was over in Cape Girardeau. Years ago when we had the one that was comparable to this one, I was rabbit hunting. Was one of the most scary things I have ever witnessed. Guys the ground actually looked like waves on water. I know that sounds unbelieveable but the ground just seemed to roll like those waves do. What amazed me was it did not crack open. Anyone else ever seen anything like that?
dean what are u doing up at 4 30 in the morning? i was in carbondale in a hotel and it woke me up. didnt feel the second one.
i work midnights at a steel fabrication shop in southern illinois......it quakes all night there...lol...but half my family had text me around 4:40am to let me know....
