Re: northern illinois earthquake !
I remember back in the 80's we had a similar small tremor. The media is having a field day with this one.

There are some great areas around Six Flags of the Ozarks that have TONS of really cool fossils that were uncovered when that quake happened... Charley....too funny

Re: northern illinois earthquake !
Relax Jeff. It was just me. I was cleaning up the mess after the party in Kwhizz's garage and the Biscayne fell off the lift. It's OK now. I don't think he'll notice.

Re: northern illinois earthquake !
I too remember the quake {tremor} we had in the 80's. That one caused a crack in the foundation of my friend's parents house in Hinsdale, IL. Also, we had one about a year or two ago that I felt in Winfield, IL while laying in bed early one morning around 3 am.
That New Madrid fault will cause another very large earthquake one day.

Re: northern illinois earthquake !
We heard it up here in Janesville. The dog woke us up barking. My wife thought the plows were going by. I thought my neighbor across the street was leaving for work.
