June 28, 200421 yr Just wondered if anyone else felt the rumbling in the Chicago area, I have a friend in Rockford that felt it, I wonder what fault line that was....
June 28, 200421 yr Wow, I thought it was my Dad walking upstairs...But, yes, I felt that...THAT was weird!!!! And, it could possibly be from the San Madrid Fault line (I think that's what it's called), which is in St. Louis. WOW!
June 28, 200421 yr HOLY s***! THATS WHAT THAT WAS!? Some things in my basement were shaking and rattling, and I was like "WTF is it storming out?" So I go upstairs and there's nothing. I figured FermiLab was doing some testing or something since I always hear their reactors and stuff in the middle of the night.

June 28, 200421 yr Author They are talking about it on WGN Radio 720 AM. (yes home of the CUBS) Lots of people have called them about reporting the earthquake...
June 28, 200421 yr They are talking about it on WGN Radio 720 AM. (yes home of the CUBS) Lots of people have called them about reporting the earthquake... How bad is it in the main area of occurrence?
June 28, 200421 yr http://www.isgs.uiuc.edu/news/geonews/dece.../earthquake.htm As expected, this is a rare event. Admitingly, I was quick to dismiss El Caballos claim of a "earthquake" until Lee and Zero validated the account. Too bad there was nothing here in Palos Heights. It must of originated somewhere West of Chicago if people in Rockford, Bolingbrook, Batavia felt it.
June 28, 200421 yr Author Hahah.. they just said "everyone and his mom" has called to report the earthquake on WGN. I guess the most activity was down in KY maybe.... Carbondale had a lot of action too...
June 28, 200421 yr Hahah.. they just said "everyone and his mom" has called to report the earthquake on WGN. I guess the most activity was down in KY maybe.... Carbondale had a lot of action too... How did these tremors pass by my town? I feel as if I've missed out on something. It was reported as far south as Pontiac, North as Rockford.
June 28, 200421 yr Author Earthquakes? Been there, done that Lol... Show off! This is huge to us Illinois people!

It must of originated somewhere West of Chicago if people in Rockford, Bolingbrook, Batavia felt it. It was almost nothing in my area, and dismissed it as nothing until Elcaballo came up with this news. I had the music on and it sounded like there was continuous thunder occurring outside. I turned off the speakers and a few things were making rattling noises, no ground shaking that I can remember. I was in the basement as well.
June 28, 200421 yr Hahah.. they just said "everyone and his mom" has called to report the earthquake on WGN. I guess the most activity was down in KY maybe.... Carbondale had a lot of action too... Action as in... broken things? Or action as in some rattling and shaking?
June 28, 200421 yr Author Action as in... broken things? Or action as in some rattling and shaking? Lol... Hell if i know... I think i meant action as in the seismographs were moving pretty good down there.
