5.4 earthquake rocks Illinois; also felt in Kentucky

April 18, 2008

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) – A 5.4 magnitude earthquake that appeared to rival the strongest recorded in the region rocked people up to 450 miles away early Friday, surprising residents unaccustomed to such a powerful Midwest temblor.

The quake just before 4:37 a.m. (CST) was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt in such distant cities as Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, Iowa, 450 miles northwest of the epicenter, but there were no early reports of injuries or significant damage.

I must say it sure got a lot of people’s attention. It is a scary feeling to have a 150 year old building as large as I standing in shake like it was a leaf. I had just popped open an ACT Energy Drink and took one sip when the shaking began. Once it stopped and we realized what just happened. I held up the can and said “man that was a powerful sip!” We all laughed because it seemed to happen at the same moment.

There was no damage around this area. It gave the locals something to talk about over breakfast
that is for sure. Thank the good lord it was just a reminder of who has his hand over us and how powerful he really is.

Have a great Friday !
