I felt it here in Ohio. It was raining at the time and I could hear the noise of the rain hitting the skylight. I felt the apartment move and shake and a bit of a noise like a roaring wind so I thought a wind squall had blown through.

Lasted only about 4 seconds.

On December 16, 1811, the 400 residents of New Madrid, Missouri, were shaken out of their beds at two in the morning by a violent earthquake. Huge cracks split the ground. The waters of the Mississippi rose and fell like a great tide. Giant waves rose up and swept north, giving the impression that the river was actually flowing backwards. Boats along the river were engulfed, capsized, and their crews drowned.

I’m in Marion and our solid concrete office building shook, pictures rattled, and we thought a truck had hit the building because there was a booming sound. Weird.

My body refuses to acknowledge anything below a 5.0 quake. I lived in California for 30 years and now live in Indiana.
