So i've been sitting here in school and all throughout the day I keep hearing about an earthquake that occured around 4:30 in the morning yesterday down in Illinois (I live in Wisconsin: it was reported that people could feel the rumbling all the way in Milwaukee.). I guess it was a 5.2 on the Richtor scale.

This is pretty crazy...I mean I didn't even know there was a fault line here in the midwest! I guess it isn't as serious as fault lines on the west coast near California and things like that.
