Well I was just shook out of bed literally. We just had a 5.4 earthquake that lasted what seemed to last about 60 to 90 seconds. I'm fine and everything, but earthquakes are very rare here in southern Indiana. I just had to share this with everyone.

Yeah it can be alarming. Happened here in England a few months back.

The only earthquake I lived was a very weak one. It just shook as if a big truck had passed by so most people (including myself) actually didn't realize it was an earthquake until it was talked about in the local newspapers.

Australia doesn't sit on the split of a tectonic plate. Hence, no Earthquakes. Your life is now much better for knowing that  |

I didn't feel it here, although Chicago apparently did. But usually it takes something pretty big to wake me up at that time of the morning.

Im in Vincennes Indiana and it shook our entire town house....My little pug was freaking out and my fiance' jumped straight out of bed....
Some of my friends are saying that one of the dorms at the college here was evacuated due to the fire alarms going off
im just thankful it wasnt Marathon in neighboring Robinson Illinois having issues...If that place goes my entire family and half of the state goes with it...

Hmm there are a few close crappers nearby. I'm in Kentucky but didn't feel it, though several others I've talked to did

I slept through the initial earthquake. I felt an aftershock about 45 minutes ago. That was one of the freakiest things I've ever felt.

I'm in Kentucky and it just felt like someone shaking the back of my car. I didn't think anything of it until everyone at work was talking about it.

I'm in Kentucky but didn't feel it, though several others I've talked to did I heard a radio show talking about it this morning, and all the quotes they had were from people in KY. Surprising (and hella freaky) to hear that folks in IN and IL felt it too. |

Apparently it was felt here since half the people in my class felt it. I must have been out. |

I'm fine and everything, but earthquakes are very rare here in southern Indiana. I just had to share this with everyone. I experienced one when I was 12, living in the Bronx. Yes, THE BRONX, NEW YORK CITY. I never thought I'd ever experience an earthquake but it shook the hell out of my room around 4AM in the morning and when I saw the news hours later, they confirmed it. |

Felt it here in the middle of Illinois. I had actually just went to bed about 20-30 minutes before and I went from sleeping to standing straight up in the middle of my living room, no idea what was going on. I thought someone was kicking the back door of my house in or something. Not a good feeling at all.

This was on CNN this morning, so it had to be a pretty big one.

I live in Southern California and we haven't had an earthquake in years. I think the last one was in December of 2004. I was at my brother's school to watch him accept an award and I thought someone had dropped something.
