June 28, 200421 yr I'm pissed -- I was awake, and I didn't feel nothin. Strongbadia isn't in Illinois, you know...
June 28, 200421 yr I was sleeping by then, but a little before 1 my hamster went nuts and was hiding in one of his tubes. I guess he came out at some point cuz he was sleeping in house when I woke up this morning.
June 28, 200421 yr I felt it in Lisle pretty good. It woke me up...cause a vase on my dresser was rattling. I am not too far from train tracks...so I was thinking maybe it was a big freight train, but a train never rattled anything in my house or made my house shake. It was very strange....
June 28, 200421 yr According to this article, it's highly likely that Chicago and St. Louis could be facing a MAJOR shake-up in the next 35 years! This is kinda scary to even fathom! http://stlouis.about.com/cs/maps/a/newmadrid.htm A brief 2-sentence exerpt from the article: Their greatest concerns are the 6.0-7.6 events, which do have significant probabilities in the near future. A 6.0 shock has a 90% chance by the year 2040.

There was an 8 plus quake in either 1812 or 14 (I can't remember which off of the top of my head) before the region was populated much at all. This area would be a distaster if one happened today.

That earthquake rang church bells in Boston!!! This could really do some major damage in the entire state of Illinois, especially since buildings aren't constructed like they are in California to withstand the shocks. Cali, ya gotta remember that this kinda stuff is foreign for us here in Illinois.

Cali, ya gotta remember that this kinda stuff is foreign for us here in Illinois. Plus the make up of the ground in this half of the country is much softer, and quakes tend to be felt over a much bigger area. So damage from a big quake in the same area as the one last night would probably cause damage from St Louis to Chicago to Indy and south.
