Wow....I've been searching FR for 15 minutes looking for something like this post. I thought I was "feeling" things! It was an earthquake, all right!

I'm in a suburb 30 miles due west of Chicago.

I was freeping when the computer started shaking like a twenty-dollar television set.

Then my heavy computer chair started rockin' and rollin'.

The shaking created a dizzy feeling that hasn't quite left me yet.

I'm going to sit back and read further comments here. Thanks for posting!

The New Madrid Seismic Zone has the potential to produce very large earthquakes. There was quite a bit of activity there early in the 1800’s.

I heard a boomlike noise. Everything in my curio cabinets and hutch was jumping around.

I also saw my cat jump up in the air.

It was a good shake.

Bush's fault again. Along with gas being over 3 dollars a gallon. When is the press going to tell that jerk in the White House it is his fault the economy is so bad and will get worse due to his oil exploration rules? Coming soon over 4 dollars a gallon gas and It will be Obamma's fault!

The shaking lasted maybe 10-20 seconds. Long enough to scare the heck out of me because I knew it was an earthquake and I'm on the top (fourth) floor of a condo building. And long enough to produce a feeling of dizziness and minor nausea.

I'm hoping some others living in the Chicago suburbs will chime in soon to add to the discussion.

Heard the boom and felt it in Noblesville.

I’m from SoCal originally so I guessed 4.0. The quakes out here definitely feel different than California quakes.

I was on driving on 465 at the time and missed it. I also missed feeling the one back in 1987.
