Illinois, Missouri and Indiana

I'm in SW Illinois by St. Louis and felt it.

3. Still trying to figure out if I felt it or not. I woke up and heard tapping at the same time as the
quake, nothing major, I'm far north suburbs by the Wisconsin border. Listening to the news right now, some reports coming in from nearby towns, so it may have been what I heard.

The one in Kokomo that they called a plane crash, but now changed it to "meteor"?

11. I felt it near St. Louis
Big story on the local St. Louis news.
It was noticeable and pretty clearly an earthquake, but I doubt there was damage here.

15. I felt it, Kalamazoo, MI
Mild but disconcerting. I could hear my house vibrating,quite keen for it to stop.
You know, when I decide to bring a bonfire from Skins's island over here, usually I make that determination just after reading the original post, and then read the primitive comments as I scroll down, copying-and-pasting.
At the beginning, I thought for sure the lying titty primitive would be at this bonfire--but it's early yet.

I'm sure TiT will be along shortly to tell everyone that he caused it. I bet he's got a super-secret Dr. Evil style underground lair somewhere.

Or that he happened to be right in the epicenter of it, and happened to pull the whole entire Illinois National Guard, including equipment and vehicles, out of danger.
