Holiday Earthquake

Did you feel the earthquake Thursday, December 30?  How is it that we could have an earthquake in the midwest?  Where was its epicenter?  What was the magnitude?  What would if be like if we had and earthquake here in Cincinnati?  When was the last time we had one in Cincinnati?

No, its hard to belive that Indiana had an earthquake, because i didnt feel a thing. The magnitude was a 3.8, which is the highest Indiana has ever recored. The earthquake happened to indicate a fault zone becoming active, and its center was at Kokomo, 57 miles north of Indianapolis. If we had an earthquake in cincinnati it wouldnt be a big earthquake.

I was listening to the news in the car about the Indiana earthquake that day. I was pretty surprised that Indiana had an eathquake too. My Grandpa had claimed that he felt it. I'm not for sure what the magnitude was, but it was in the 3.
range. At least it didn't cause any or very much damage. :)

No I did not. It was a 3.8 magnitude. The epicenter was in kokomo. I think it woul be small like the last time we had an earthquake. We had one recently.

I can't belive Indina had a earth quake becauseI didn't feel a thing. The quake was 3.8, that's the highest ever in Indina history.

I didn't feel the earthquake. There are still fault lines in the midwest. The epicenter was in just east of Kokomo. The magnitude was 3.8. If we had an earthquake in Cincinnati, I don't think there would be much damage because it wouldn't bea big earthquake. I think we had an earthquake recently.

I agree with Sydney, it is hard to belive that there was an eaarthquake.
