I JUST heard about this on TV. I was about to turn off my TV to go to bed and the news was playing. They made mention of it. I can't ever remember hearing of a midwest earthquake before...???

It streched all the way to Michigan. There have been reports of people in Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Milford and Farmington Hills feeling it.

It woke us up around 4:40. Nikki told the dog to shop shaking the bed. I told her I think we had an earthquake and she didn't believe me.

Is THAT what that rumble was?!?!?! My Dad woke me up around 4:00am to help him find his keys... and we felt a small rumble around 4:40am. It was just enough to feel it, but still.
