This earthquake wouldn't even make someone living in California look the other way. This is everyday life for the California folks!

Yeah Gaz' mine was a rocking back and forth as well. My bed was banging on the wall much different from just shaking (although there was that as well).

As far as the fault line goes the New Madrid fault is located in Missouri. It is due for a giant earthquake at some point in time. Close to 200 years ago there was one that measured above 7.5 if it were to happen now Skyscrapers in St. Louis (possibly Chi-Town) would be toppled over. This quake today was from the Wabash fault line which is offset from the New Madrid line and measured 5.2 at its Epicenter (a yearly occurence in CA).

On the news tonight they also said part of the reason it traveled so far is because the soil in this area of the world is so soft it allowed the quake to travel farther. In California the earth is dryer and harder which regionalizes the quakes more.

It sounded like really low pitched thunder, like a rumbling with everything rattleing, and my bed shaking, i thought somebody broke into my room and was trying to kill me.

And its the "Wabash Seismic zone" ID, fucking idiot zmog peanut butter.

Yes, the fault line is just located in Missouri. It's a relitively small fault line, but it's just one state wide. I thought you know BDH, I really did.
