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. :-?

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

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

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

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

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