KALAMAZOO (WWJ) – If you thought you felt an earthquake on Saturday — you did. And It was one of the strongest quakes ever experienced in Michigan.
Officials with the United States Geological Survey said an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 and a depth of focus of 5.9 km was measured around 12:23 p.m. about nine miles southeast of Kalamazoo, near Galesburg.
Multiple residents in several different regions beyond Kalamazoo — from Mount Pleasant and Sterling Heights to Lansing and even as far as Cleveland, Ohio — reported feeling a rumble and the ground shake for between five and 10 seconds.
No damage or injuries have been reported.
The strongest earthquake in Michigan history was a 4.6 magnitude in nearly the exact same location in August 1947.

Felt it here in Macomb County. Lasted about 7-10 seconds.

I think it was caused by the fracking that’s going on in Oklahoma. They’ve blamed that for everything except the quake in Nepal.

My daughter felt it in ADA.
She survived the mighty Baltimore earthquake a few years ago and knew what it was.

Would a conscientious Michigander please go over to Michael Moore’s mansion and check to see if he fell out of bed?
