I thought we the Californians are the most vulnerable of Earthquakes.
But what Galeburg, Mich. has anything to do with earthquake? Damage reports from CCer’s? Quake insurance anyone? 
It was really minor. My husband and I were home and both of us felt a “bump”. Like someone had thrown a football on the roof. We looked at each other and that was it. Heard later it was an earthquake. Not going to be buying earthquake insurance anytime soon.
Yeah, we had one with 4.2 two miles down the road. The roof made a cracking noise and that was it.
I wonder if there is any oil drilling/fracking nearby. I’ve heard on the news that Oklahoma has a lot more earthquakes because of fracking.
I’m in Northwest Ohio and many, many people in our area seemed to have felt it - I have seen stories of glass vases jiggling on tables. I was participating in a health fair in a parking lot and felt not a thing! The center of the quake was in the Kalamazoo area.
We’re about an hour away from the earthquake center. H felt the tremors in the house, but I was driving and missed it all.
I’m on the other side of the state. I felt my bed shaking a bit and thought it was my dog walking around the bed but then remembered my dog wasn’t home.
It was very minor. We feel them like once every 10 years.
Here in the Chicago suburbs, people around us reported feeling it, but, alas, once again, I did not.
4.2 is relatively high but Michigan gets small earthquakes often. Not as often as OK has now. AFAIK, the largest known earthquake in the US was the New Madrid quake of 1811. It lifted parts of the Mississippi so high the river ran backwards for a while. The quake was near where MO, KY and TN come together. The SF 1906 quake may have been slightly higher magnitude but the New Madrid quake was actually 3 separate ones of huge force, not 1 with aftershocks. People thought the world was ending.
@Lergnom - and scientists say the New Madrid site is due for a quake larger than the ones in 1811-1812. Problem is, of course, there’s more population in the area now than there was back at the beginning of the 19th century! So much more loss of life and property when it does happen again.
I actually had a conversation with someone last week, who told me she has earthquake insurance here in the Chicago area for the very reason of the New Madrid fault line.
Chicago suburbs, didn’t feel a thing. Not sure where the epicenter was, so not sure if Teriwtt’s area or mine was closer.
There are some good maps of the US that show the earthquake prone areas. There are some surprises like Charleston SC, and St Louis.
The epicenter was between Kalamazoo and Lansing, MI.
My fiance who was in Lansing didn’t feel a thing but I felt it much further away. shrug
D1 is in school about 10 miles from epicenter. She was in a car and didn’t feel a thing. Students in the dorms felt things rattle and shake.
My mom lives near lansing. She was at a meeting at church. She said the roof of the chapel shook but no damage.
We had “frost quakes” just West of Boston in the dead of winter. Thought our daughter fell out of her bed.
