There was one here in the states on the border between Illinois and Indiana a few months back, and it woke me up, and I live over 200 miles away. :o

I didn't even know there were fault lines this far inland. :-?

You can blame it on those pesky Miners digging deep holes in the ground, Maz...;)...!

Are you sure it was not just a bad reaction to a curry and beer. I am sure Ozzy can calm you, he has a lot of experience dealing with this sort or movement ;D

we had one of those some time ago in Brazil... everyone was startled, because there are no fault lines here, and no one would have expected an earthquake...  i felt a bit left out since i didn't feel anything... everyone the next day was asking 'did you feel that??' and i couldn't say i had... ::)

anyways, it was only a 2.2 when it got to the city... it happened some 200km off the shore, reaching 5.6 at it's epicenter

but it might have been a bad reaction to curry and beer, now that you've mentioned ;D

Cheers

The minors in our home shook things up or got shook up on occason, too.

Fault lines are everywhere -- but no one lines up to take the blame.

Don't about Dayton but that one shook us pretty good over here.  Not what you expect when its 5:30AM and you just poured that first cup of coffee. :P  Didn't realize what it was till the local weather man started saying earthquake :o  Was wide awake for the heavy aftershock about 11:30 though :P

I actually remember this...

I was in  Florida on spring break and it measured a 1.2 on the scale according to the scale.  We left a cup out  and it fell off our counter (it was on the edge) and broke! :o

Interesting :-? In Australia?

We just had one here in California, not really near me but I heard about it on the news. A 3.3 what was yours?
