We never have earthquakes in Indiana.
Well, actually I have felt several, including today as I have lived here all of my life. Being that Indiana is in the vicinity of the New Madrid fault
zone, today's moderate quake completely unusual, certainly not common though. The one today was centered in se Illinois as the others I have felt in
the past were centered in surrounding states as well.
Here is a map of activity surrounding the NM zone:

I hope this helps put a little clarity on that.
Edit to add: Sorry mods, I forgot to reduce the size of that map.
