You might be wondering if the 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled skyscrapers in Chicago's Loop and homes in Cincinnati reached us here in Columbus, Indiana. The answer is YES!
The quake hit just before 5:37 a.m. and was centered six miles from West Salem, Illinois, and 45 miles from Evansville, Indiana. It was felt in such distant cities as Milwaukee, Des Moines, and Atlanta, nearly 400 miles to the southeast.
My wife and I heard the sound...wondered what it was...went roaming through the house...and heard the china rattling too! (In fact, I initially thought the cat got caught in our master closet and was making sounds to get out : - )
I received an email from a student in Evansville, Indiana who slept through it all! Plus, my mother in Nixa, Missouri also felt the same tremors. Wow - this thing had some extensions to it!
At least there were no broken china plates - all seem to be intact!
Have a blessed day! Love,
Pastor Don Andreasen
