Anyone feel the MI earthquake?

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

At around 12:20 pm (est) on May 2, 2015, there was a 4.0 earthquake about 5 miles south of Galesburg, Michigan.

I live about ten miles east of Galesburg, so I may have felt it more strongly.

My whole condo complex shook. At first, I thought it was my neighbors below me that are in the midst of a renovation project, but then I noticed everyone in the complex exiting their units and sharing their experiences and general alarm.

I've read online reports of people feeling it from Chicago to Detroit and from the Upper Peninsula to Indiana. No damage or injuries reported yet.

Did anyone here feel it?

In Los Angeles, we don't even interrupt our lunch for a measly 4.0 quake.

To be fair, in Los Angeles, your buildings are made to withstand "measly" 4.0 quakes. Not so much out in the midwest.

Hey, do you know if northern California or southern oregon has had and small (3.0 to 5.0) quakes between the MI one and today?

I'm pretty much directly opposite Galesburg, MI. on the west side of lake Michigan. I wonder if the lake absorbs stuff like that.

Though, I've never felt anything from the New Madrid fault as far as I know.

Yet you freak out when there's a light drizzle.

Contrary to rumor, when it rains, we do not freak out. It's just that we can't drive worth shit.

I was there in February of 2014 (probably when it rained last).

EVERY. STATION. went wall-to-wall coverage about the weather.

If only there were a simple and easy means of checking such a thing.

I farted real loud. Did anybody feel it?

The more important question is, did you feel it?

Was that on the 28th of February, by chance? As I recall, that was the first rain we'd got that season (2013-14) since a storm a couple of days before Thanksgiving. It had been a really dry winter.
