Just saw a scroll on the TV screen that an earthquake near Hinsdale. 3.7 apparently. Challenged finding online source.

According to Wikipedia, Hinsdale is a suburb of Chicago.
“Beeg Badda-Boom”
We had them here too.
Funny, I always thought they would be taller.
I think the Human brain runs primarily on glucose. They were just trying to “fatten up” their meals.
They must be 'into' prophecy, 'cause it hasn't happened yet.
No tsunami warning on lake Michigan.
Last Illinois quake was Friday just north of Cairo.
happened a couple of weeks ago and was first thought to be the result of blasting at a nearby quarry (in countryside or mc cook) ... upon further review they decided it was an independent tremor that occurred almost simultaneously with the quarry blast
You sure the 1st Wookie didn’t just visit and sit down real fast & hard?
Bubble @ss is in Chicago about as often as I am LOL.
She’s probably overseeing the WH staff packing bags for the Kwanzaa pilgrimage to Hawaii.
HAHAHA!!! I thought they were going to mecca this year to see the other side of the family.
I must have gotten bad info...
Actually, I was sitting in my recliner when it started rocking and rolling about 2 weeks ago. I live in a western suburb of Chicago very near to Hinsdale (Downers Grove). It’s a creepy feeling, as the recliner, with me upon it, started undulating, kind of a small roll, back and forth, and lasted for about 5 seconds, in my estimation. I knew in my bones that it was probaby an earthquake, as many years ago, the same phenomenon happened when I was living in Champaign-Urbana in the middle of the state of IL where UIUC is located. It was the that same rocking feeling I experienced as when it happened in Champaign-Urbana.
When they said it was a quarry blast that caused it, I was very skeptical, as that has never happened before where a blast caused ground upheaval, and the quarry isn’t that close to me, plus it was too widespread to be caused by a blast. Quite the experience on an otherwise dull day.
The real fun ones are the BIG jolt, followed by the rocking motion. Ya learn to wait to see if that motion is gonna get worse or taper off. The special ones are when ya think a locomotive is headed right for ya before the rocking and rolling starts. Good times...good times. :-)
Not sure why you posted that but is sure is purity!
P-wave followed by S-wave. The longer the duration between the 2 the farther away the quake epicenter. That first jolt tends to make us CA folks freeze in place.
