[DocCincy]

Our whole office building just rolled a few minutes ago. Felt like an earthquake. I'm in Cincinnati....anyone else out there feel anything?

Details

[Aggie Mama]

Be careful!!!

[Born in a Rage]

Is everyone okay? Was it a big one...anything fall off the wall?

[Constitution Day]

Nothing on for the Midwest shown on the link below (yet)... you may want to check it again soon.

[Semper Paratus]

Isn't that near the madrid fault that experienced the largest earthquake in the continent 250 years ago?

[Kerberos]

The map shows a 4.4 around Puducha. I am north of Indy and did not feel anything.

[dennis1x]

2 quakes...1 a 4.4, another a 5.0 rumble

[Hoosier Patriot]

Same here in southwestern Indiana. Just finished up calming down the next door neighbor. She thought it might have been a terrorist attack. Quite a shaker for this part of the country.

something felt in Middle Missouri.....several co-workers reported it.

Ashland, Missouri

[A Citizen Reporter]

I'm in St. Louis, and I felt it.

[DocCincy]

Another one has popped up on the USGS site...in addition to the 4.4 near Paducah, KY there is now one listed as a 5.0 near Evansville, IN. Hopefully the New Madrid isn't coming apart.

Wow i am in Cincy and did not feel it mhmmmmm weird

[KC Burke]

In Paducah, hummmm. I have been aware of what would happen to Paducah if the New Madrid area kicked a big one loose. If those two dams on Land-Between-the-Lakes broke, its my understanding that Paducah would be under 16 feet of water. My wife would cry because their Quilt Museum would be wiped out (in addition to the obvious devestation of life and property)

[Conservababe]

I'm in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Were are right on the New Madrid fault. I have not felt or heard a thing so far.

[Fred Mertz]

I felt the rumble and my computer screen shook. I'm on the third floor and 80% of us felt it; a few didn't notice.

I'd say it happened at about 1:40 pm.

[Born in a Rage]

The link also shows around around Louisville and another smaller one near Nashville --- says 4 earthquakes in the last hour now...

[operation clinton cleanup]

I'm in Cincinnati and didnt notice a thing... of course I'm in a solid two story stone house!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I'm halfway through a book called "The Rift", about just such an earthquake. The New Madrid fault, I think it's called. You can find it on Amazon.com.

[KC Burke]

heck, I'm only 30 miles from you at the moment and I didn't feel a thing....
