That’s unusual. Did you feel the earth move?

I got home right around then and neither MrsTuner or I felt anything...

I did not. And I'm less than 30 miles away from the epicenter.

We've had a number of quakes during my lifetime. Usually they're in central/southern IL, and people in the Chicago area have reported that they could feel them, but I wasn't one of them. Our golden retriever Maggie, OTOH, went crazy one afternoon some years back. We later learned that an earthquake had occurred in central IL right at the time she got goofy. Dogs are amazing.

I’ve only felt two earthquakes, both minor. Once in February 2001 (9.5 in Seattle, felt in Portland), and once on the Big Island of Hawaii, in December 2013 (3.2 off the Kona coast). Interesting!

Was raised in New Madrid County, Missouri.
200+ small quakes a year are measured there. I only felt the one that was a 3.2. The earthquake of 1811 was centered there. It rang church bells in Boston and made the Mississippi River run backwards.
