Yes, it was in Fort Wayne, In. They are rare here.

This is awesome. I guess I am a bit of an earthquake junkie after having been through quite a few in two different areas 3000K apart. They just posted the 2008 Earthquake Map within the last few days. Pretty severe risk on the New Madrid.

I felt it as well, I live in downtown Indy and one of my cats woke me up hiding behind my bed howling. I was just starting to cuss it out and my whole apartment started shaking. At first I thought it was a low flying jet coming into the airport but it lasted way too long... Definitely pretty wild.

shook my bed and freaked out my dog and fiance.

I was reading with the Madrid fault there are 4000 quakes a year, at least one can be felt once a year.
Every 300 years or so a huge one hits, like back in 1812.

maybe the whole country will split in half and we will all fall in a big hole in the ground?

Ok, the total quake count has been over 330 for two days now. There have been (8) 6+ quakes since thursday. When looking at the geometry of the pacific. All the activity for months has been significant in the south(west) section of the pacfic ring....(indonesia) area. The area runs from Japan to the tip of australia in a concave arc that appears to be concentrating "stress" across the pacific into southern california. This stress appears to flow into the US on a line from san diego to yellowstone and then from yellowstone to seattle. Look at the US map, it become obvious. Now picture all that stress in a "wedge" (san diego to yellowstone to seattle) with yellowstone being the focus point.

Parallel to the line from san diego to yellowstone is the entire new madrid fault that begins in Ohio and extends down to mexico city. (yes it has many other names along the way other than new Madrid).

The point is the wedge focusing on yellwstone appear to be cracking the longer new madrid fault open again............
