Hey EARTHQUAKE!!!!

[HALEY]

Oh my Janet i bet that was scary! Glad that your ok...

[toodles]

nope, Janet, you are not crazy in fact, if you look on YT, there were LOTS of people in the midwest and such that felt it. my daughters dad said he felt it this morning...and I thought he was crazy until I heard more about it. it seems there were SEVERAL states that were effected but I have not heard of any injuries or deaths or anything major.

Look at Kat's thread. She posted the news article. It says that nobody was hurt.

I'm glad you're okay Janet!

Sorry Janet, I didn't see your thread until after I posted my thread.

They just said there was an aftershock at 11:00, it was a 4.5 but I didn't feel it.

Yes, I was sitting here at the computer at 11:15 and starting feeling a rumbling and then the dogs lifted their heads. Next thing is I have 3 paintings on the wall and they started shaking and swinging. I just sat here like a dummy, because I was waiting on it to get worse. It seemed like it lasted about 15-20 seconds. They said we could still feel aftershocks for a few days.

Here I thought all I had to worry about in Indiana was tornadoes...LOL

I thought we were in Tornado Alley, not the Lake Michigan Fault Line.
If nobody hears from us in the next few days we should tell them to look for us in the cracks.

Someone in our group at Branson mentioned that Illinois had had an earthquake and I wondered if you'd felt it too, Janet. I hope that you don't have any that are stronger than that because I'd hate to think of the damage it could cause. We have faults here too. Supposedly our lake's dam is built on a fault. Real smart isn't it?
