There was one in the New Madrid fault by Cairo, Ill. on a Saturday morning about 30 years ago that really shook us. Have felt 2 other minor ones besides that.
Thank goodness they are rare.

7. If I hadn't been sitting I don't think I would have noticed.

Thought it was just me then saw facebook a post "did you feel that". Scared my bird.

8. Yes, I felt it and wondered what it was. Then, I saw a post about there being one at around 7:00 am

My fingers were on the mouse and felt funny for a short time. I was afraid I was coming down with some debilitating problem, but then it went away. SE Iowa.

Didn't notice it up here near Dubuque.

I was awake at the time too.

My sister who lives in Missouri said they didn't notice as they slept through it. No word if the cats had detected the quake.

11. A couple of my friends in the Quad Cities told me some of their friends felt the quake.

And these were people local to the Quad Cities.

They asked me about my sister in St. Louis and I told them she slept through the quake. I'm still wondering if Marvel was even more amped up than usual.
