5:00am around my time? Hm, don't remember waking up to anything. Doesn't sound like it was powerful enough to get far up into Wisconsin. I'll ask my folks today - they get up around 4:30 for work.

Between being rather difficult to wake up at five AM and the distance involved, I didn't feel anything either.

An earthquake in Indiana? How the heck did that happen? What's in Indiana to make earthquakes?

Earthquake huh

Well, the part of Iowa that I live in ( southwestern area ) didn't feel a thing
that...or I was dead asleep at the time XD

Easy, the New Madrid Fault Zone. It's right smack in the middle of the Midwest, and is fairly active; most of the earthquakes are just too small to feel.

I was sound asleep at the time, didn't feel a thing. Our dorm also had a fire alarm go off that I somehow slept through. But damn it all, if my roomie starts snoring like he did early this morning, I wake up instantly and can't get back to sleep.

Ah, thanks. I was completely unaware of that; I learned something new today. (My knowledge of geological activity in the Midwest is pretty much limited to Wyoming, but that's because Nebraskans live in fear of the Yellowstone supervolcano reawakening and venting its angry ashen wrath upon us. :P) I've always wondered what it'd be like in an earthquake.

We here in Kansas didn't feel it. I should know, I was still up. :lol:

But that reminds me of an earthquake that happened, I think here in Kansas, that just caused huge cracks in a single parking lot of a warehouse or something.

wow...I didn't know the Midwest had a fault line....neat

rofl, you sound just like me. I can sleep through pretty much anything, unless if my ex-roomie started to snore. One time, the kid snored so loudly, I subconsicously thought it was the alarm clock and I ridded off the face of my alarm clock/ radio

No worries; I was too until a few years ago, and I've lived in the Midwest all my life. I only remembered because we've been discussing seismology and the New Madrid Fault recently in Geology.

But yeah, the Midwest has a fault line. We're apparently overdue for a high-Richter earthquake too.

felt it a little in the the metro area of michigan.

HAHA! I live in Southwest Illinois and i felt every bit of it. We even had a second one around 10:00AM or so. The one that hit the night before was pretty cool. It jarred me awake and then rocked me back to sleep lol.

The second one wasn't as bad. It happened during 2nd hour while i was at a assembly. I find Earthquakes to me mildly entertaining but that's just because nothing too bad happened.

That second one ya felt was an aftershock; thankfully, they're always much better than the actual earthquake. :)

Yea, cause i was the only one at my school who thought it was cool >.>'

Finally an earthquake NOT in California! Usually it's the midwest sitting safely at home, while we're rocking and rolling and dodging falling books, but now the shoe's on the other foot! BUAHAHAHAHA!

*cough*
Yeah...sorry...eheh...
