Quisp Or Quake

This morning around 4:00 am the western suburbs of Chicago was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 3.8.  Illinois has had earthquakes as it is part of the New Madrid fault line but to my recollection I have never felt one.

I was awake when it hit but I don't think I felt the shaking.  I did hear the bang but thought it was a snow plow or a train or something blown by a gust of wind.

There haven't been any reports of serious damage, just the typical fallen picture or broken trinket.  Those from the West Coast might have felt it was a bunch of nothing but it was the talk of the day to the Midwesterners.  The farm below is the epicenter.
