I checked the Canadain Earthquake Database. No reports anywhere near the great lakes on the 18th. I also didn't find any news articles dealing with the subject tremors.

I honestly don't think that the USGS, puts all the quakes that happen on the map! I believe it would "scare" people too much.

I know where I am, last week, I was standing in a ladies room and lost my footing and the water in the toliet sloshed around. Yet nothing ever showed up, in my area as a quake. But I know how I had to do some "two stepping" to not go off balance and I know what I saw with the water.

I think there is a lot more going on with the Earth, than is being released.

Not sure why your not finding any news on it...all I had to do was type
"earth tremors in ohio" into the yahoo search engine..and several news stories came up.

Yes it wasn't to difficult to locate information about quakes in this area. USGS doesn't normally report tremors below 3.0 I believe.
This is from a Canadian site.
