Yes

We felt it.

There was this wild-eyed prophet of doom-type professor at my college who was always warning us about the New Madrid fault. We were all like, that old thing? Ha.

Ha!

(By the way, it's "MA-drid," not mah-DRID.")

Wow, looks like I missed out. I'll be home in less than a month if all goes well - we've been covered in a thick layer of dust the last few days so all flights were on hold. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate when it's time for my leave. Look forward to seeing you, Cole and Nat and finally meeting Selina.

I felt it too. Just didn't know what it was. I was still half asleep anyway.

me too, and the aftershock.

Ha! We're Californians who lived in Kentucky for two years, and our homeowner's insurance tried REALLY HARD to get us to buy earthquake insurance - because of the New Madrid fault. We laughed and refused. When my husband told me there was an earthquake in the midwest yesterday, my first question was how many paragraphs before the article mentioned the new madrid fault? Not many, apparently! Midwesterners are so proud of that fault. I'm glad it finally performed - nicely. :)

This wasn't the New Madrid fault, though, was it? I thought I heard it was an otherwise unknown fault (except to a handful of seismologists who are interested in Midwestern faults)
