I’m in Cincinnati. I felt it around 5:30. There was a rumbling like thunder, and the house began to vibrate for about 30 seconds to a minute. I put the news on immediately after my mom speculated it was an earthquake. There was nothing, so I switched to a tv show. I put the news on at 6:00 where they had it as breaking news. They are interviewing people from around the tri-state who felt it and said the phone lines are jammed. There is damage in our area, but they think there might be some closer to the center in eastern Illinois. It was a 5.4 at the epicenter. They said this is the anniversary of a large earthquake that hit San Francisco in 1906. It was over an eight on the scale.
Live in the Cincinnati area ... bed shook a little, but I thought it was the dog bumping the bed, he sleeps on the floor (on a dog mat) at the foot of the bed. Hard to tell the difference.
