People in midwest: Did you feel the quake this morning?

Question

I'm curious to see other midwesterners reaction on the quake this morning. I'm from Midwestern Indiana, close to the epicenter of the quake. I was sitting on my computer, when the whole house began to rumble. It is something I've never expierenced, and it was quite amazing. I was scared, but the hard part is over. I immediately called the news station. We have had some aftershocks, and I think this is weird, yet cool. Did you feel it? and if so what was your reaction? Thanks :)

Answer 1

Yes, I live in Gary, Indiana, and I for sure felt it.  It was crazy shaking of the whole house.  I live by train tracks, so at first I thought it was trains changing tracks.  But then when everything started literally moving, I realized it was something else.  Especially when I didn't hear any train.  :)    So it lasted for a little while and I was very confused, but I found out not too long ago it was a quake; which freaked me out even more.

Answer 2

Louisville Kentucky here. I went around at lunch and took pictures of the damage we have here. Just some bricks and concrete off of buildings and chimneys. I did not feel the quake this morning, but plenty of others did. I did have one cat that was meowing and going crazy. But none of my other animals made a sound.

As for the most recent aftershock we felt here at 11:15, I did not feel it because I was out in my car. But people here at my office building said the building vibrated. We are right in the heart of downtown Louisville.

My family awoke to the house creaking and the dogs barking.  I thought it was a tornado but after looking outside and seeing a calm sky, it finally dawned on me that we were experiencing an earthquake.  The sound was if a train was going by our house.  It was incredible.
