Earthquake in...Illinois?

mysticwolf11 · 04-18-2008, 10:30 AM

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.

Yep, we felt it here too. I have been told in the past that we aren't suppose to be able to get earthquakes, but I know for a fact that there have been many locally in history. By the sound of it they were worse then than they are now though. I mean whenever we have one it seems like only trembles, but the ones I've read about sounded a lot worse.

That is an unlikely place but any place can have them. Sounds like a massive one at that.

Dude that was t-rex in the area. That was one of his rumblers you felt.

Thunder Fart you mean? That does make sense.

My question is what was T doing there? I didn't even know he knew where it was at. Still incredible.

Y'know not many people can honestly say they could sleep through an earthquake - and yet I did... about 6 years ago, I think

I slept through it, I didn't even hear about it until I woke up...
