RowdyRebel Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 So sitting here last night there was what sounded like an explosion which shook the whole house...thought for sure the Dyno Nobel plant up the road had a mishap, but nope...just an earthquake. Wasn't anything like the last ones around here that rumbled a little as the ground rolled...this was just a loud "BOOM" with a quick shudder. http://www.wsiltv.com/story/31858621/earthquake-near-illinois-kentucky-border Anyone else feel it?

RedBullDog Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah, those are what I call type 2. Type 1 are the ones you hear roaring up ,then everything sways around. Type 2, you hear a pop or boom and everything shakes. Type 1 seem to last longer, but type 2 are a more violent action. How far are you from the New Madrid fault? Ours in Oklahoma are the shallow (man-made?) ones, some might say they originate down in the "Chesapeake", along the "Continental" line.

RowdyRebel Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 I could be in New Madrid, MO in about an hour. First quakes I felt were centered up in IN...5.4 or something like that. This one was closer in KY, though not quite as high on the scale. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
