Did we just have a tremor in KY?

I can't speak for anybody else but this is rare being felt in Central Kentucky. I don't know if this is related but I kept hearing a roar about 5:00 AM. Did anybody else hear it?

Your post made me think. I didnt sleep AT ALL last night. Noises kept me awake all night long and nothing I could identify. It was just eerie.

I sat on my front porch when I got up this morning and remarked to my neighbor that it was oddly quiet. He said he agreed and couldnt figure out why. (we live right out the main of Ft Knox and we hear military traffic, planes, helicopters 24/7) so when it is quiet it is odd.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm...

That is odd...a roar? I wonder if it was the ground getting ready to move, or some kind of water or magma underground..?

I live in northwest GA and I was laying on my bed watching tv and the next think I know my bed just jumped twice. I have never felt an earthquake where I live and it was only for a second.

RSOE is showing two 4.3's, an hour apart and in separate locations.

Yeah we did!!! It was in Letcher County!

4.3 close to Whitesburg

I was driving through Morehead at the time.

I remember the one back in 1980, it was a 5.2

If anyone may find this interesting, I have it with my New Madrid stuff and it gives some first hand accounts with other info on the ones near here. They also did come after reports of odd migrations and animal behavior. Some of those, months before. It could have been unrelated on that, but the first hand accounts and what is described in the time right before is real interesting. Perhaps the reports of the past may come to be valuable at some point for reference too?

The New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-12

I live in Sylva, NC and felt the shake. I didn't instantly think "earthquake" until I got up and checked Facebook. I definitely felt it here.

There was a small aftershock around 20 minutes ago. Here is a screen cap of it from stations TA.T52A..BHZ(E)(N), which is pretty close to the epicenter of the m 4.3. No listing for this one on USGS yet.



It looks like the movement is much stronger in the East-West direction than any other. Anybody feel this one?

USGS is saying Alabama had a deep one this morning too. Odd places for earthquakes. Oh and Cali is lit up like a Christmas tree. All small, but, the map is crazy.

I am in Rdacliff lol

I used to live in Vine Grove when i was a kid. My grandparents live in Radcliff. Didn't know there was a fault around there though. Now i live in Arkansas, not too far from the New Madrid fault.

I'm making my stand! It won't stop us!

I was referring to the New Madrid Fault, and it is not technically HERE but close enough that if there is ever a big one, well, we will feel it.

Vine Grove. Mayberry USA. One street no traffic lights. Gotta love small town USA.

I am a military transplant. Everyone seems to know someone in Radcliff and it is not that big.
