Illinois, Missouri and Indiana
   
did you feel the earthquake. I think the news just said Evansville Indiana was the center a 5.4.

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.

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.

I didn't feel anything but our local news is buzzing with reports from people who did that live just east of us.

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.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

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.
