Most of the midwest would have felt it as to the geological makeup of the earth here. It's more dense so it travels farther... unlike California where it doesn't.
We had a pretty good shake here in Louisville, KY. There was a good aftershock at about 11:15 as well.
Hope there's no serious injuries anywhere. MOST of our houses in the Midwest are NOT designed to take much abuse like that. Tornadoes... maybe... back and forth... NOPE!

25 miles south of Tony, and i felt it too.
Was in bed, and felt the bed swaying back n forth.(It's a Sleep Number bed, frame-no "legs") so i knew something was up  .
I heard we had aftershocks later this morning too, but i was on the road, and did not notice.
5.2 i think they said the original one was.
(I checked the rockwork in the reef tank, nothin' teetered, or fell.  )

Yup, they say the plates are larger here w/ less breaks so that is why the larger area (Atlanta to Upper Mich.)
The few things i saw on TV were a porch roof etc, that fell, but as they said, that prob woulda fell the next good wind come thru.(older home)
