4.5 Earthquake 70 Mile From Chicago this Morning!
 

God damn at 1 am...and I didn't even feel it:helpme

Not even themidwest is safe from them:eek7

Was that what that pair of loud bangs was? Shit, I thought it was a sonic boom or something when it happened. My house shook, but it felt like a thump.

Check out the pattern this week. Looks like the Pacific Plate is really rocking.

Wow man, creepy! Everything is taking us off guard lately, lol.
I thought the early handover of power in iraq was the only well-kept surprise news story today.
Hope everyone's ok with no damage :thumbsup

I caught Jim on E Channel this weekend- he was great speaking about Phoebe Cates' nude scene in "Fast Times"

51 minutes into the flick...

WOW Jim is unreal in his memory of these things-
But I am the same way about music so I understand...

Hank can you have him call me regarding a very touchy video I have been propositioned?

I want to know what he might know about it.

KB he is the Rainman of nude scenes in movies hahahahaha:thumbsup

I'll have him call you:winkwink:

wooo hoooo... I felt it. wasn't much though

Luck was with us no major damage just personal items:thumbsup

But they are checking bridges in Ottawa, IL which was the center of the quake :helpme

Here is a picture of the epiccenter of the quake..I was there saturday at Starved Rock state park.A bunch of us from the porsche club drove over there for lunch.Nice place btw...

weird, felt nothing here... how far can you feel quakes away from the center of where they happen?

The news said because of the bedrock which makes up most of the midwest you can feel them much farther than you can out west.I slept through it,but there were people here that felt it and i am nearly 200 miles away from where it hit.

Did the "Jack" Put you to sleep so well ?? Glad to hear you are ok ! Will you be coming to the Toronto get together ?

I don't think I will make it we have a family reunion that weekend:winkwink:

I love Starved Rock and the Bar in the lodge makes the best bloody mary's:Graucho

well if they dont want you ................:glugglug

ho shit ! we all gonna die! :Graucho

Dunno about you Hank, but it woke my ass up!
