I was only 7 miles due west of the epicenter. The block building I was in shook tremendously, but after inspecting the building for over an hour there seems to be no damage. The last quake that was this strong was a M 4.6 in 1947-

Very interesting since there is no fracking close to the epicenter. I checked the helicorders in neighboring states. I registered rather strong in Erie, PA to the east and Beattyville, KY to the south-

What's weird is that no station in Indiana picked it up. I can only guess that they are on a different plate than we are.

I was running errands in my truck and did not experience anything. But a gas station attendant here in North West Ohio did say he felt the tremors. The emergency sirens fired up here at noon thirty though. I thought strange because of the beautiful sunny day and siren testing usually happens on the 1st Wednesday of the month. Hmmm...

My son felt it at Central Michigan University in Mt Pleasant (he was on the toilet when he felt it shake ). I was driving, so didn't feel a thing. My Mom, 2 hours south of Central, heard a loud rumbling noise. At first she thought it was a semi truck idling outside. She heard it for about 30-40 seconds (long enough to go look out the window and see there wasn't a truck). Then her friend called and told her it was an Earthquake!

My father in law called us about it, a few minutes after it happened. He said it woke his wife up from her nap, and the house shook, but took no damage. They're in Kalamazoo.
