Earthquake in Indiana?

Didn't know that was possible, or at least on that scale. Guess I skipped geology class too much.

If you noticed in the article, they mentioned the New Madrid Fault Zone. Now, if you watched the History Channel at all, you'd know this is a place for a potential Mega Disaster.

It can happen anywhere. Just less commented on due to less frequent seismic activity. Nevada is typically flagged as being the 3rd most seismically active state in the US. Personally I think it's the collective case of the heebie jeebies from being so damned close to the People Republic of California....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Ill" Illinois? And isn't Chicago in Illinois? The epicenter was in Illinois, not Indiana.

True, but I'd still say it was in Illinois, but could be felt in Indiana, since the epicenter was in Illinois.
