We didn’t in St. Louis. Read it was a 3.8 magnitude quake. Said Chicago felt it.

3.8 is a trembler......not worth getting out of bed for.

3.8 is a trembler......not worth getting out of bed for.

Especially when it happens at 2:18pm!

I never feel the quakes unless they are 5 or better. Maybe flatulence is my excuse.

Knock on wood, but I’ve never been in an earthquake. At least never felt an earthquake.

The New Madrid fault is pretty close and supposedly is a huge risk. They say when it went in the early 1900’s it made the Mississippi River flow backwards.

Been thru a few big quakes when I lived in California. Got lots of work repairing buildings afterwards.

I didn't feel it and was in Winimac at the time.

Lived in Anchorage, Ak for 20 years. There were so many quakes - you got use to them. Large hanging chandelier in the entry way. When you saw that thing swinging - better hang on tight. Here is the annual state stats - Alaska averages 20,000 earth quakes EVERY YEAR - these are the ones you can feel - one mag 7 to 8 quake every year, six mag 6 to 7 quakes every year, 45 mag 5 to 6 quakes every year, 320 mag 4 to 5 quakes every year. This is the state wide average.

At least twice a month we had to reposition all the wife's dishes in the china cabinet.

Hard to believe but you can actually become accustom to all the shaking, rattling and rumbling.

I would guess it's similar to a person living right next to the railroad tracks. After a while they don't even notice the train passing.

I was in a barracks on one of the islands off the Kenia Peninsula, and as i was walking out the door, felt a rhythmic shudder, i was thinking, 'man somebody really has a washing machine out of balance', the shuddering kept up as i stepped outside. Ok, not a washing machine, must be an earth quake. I was told it happened all the time, and indeed, feel it many times. Interesting, i've experienced a few earth quakes, but never one that felt like an out of balance washing machine.

We had one here about 15 years ago. I was lying in our waterbed and it felt like it was full of bumble bees. BZZZZZZZZZ. Lasted almost 30 seconds. I was wondering if I should put another quarter in the slot.

Hard to believe you could feel it that far away.

About twenty years ago I was standing in hay field at end of a valley. Heard a loud low rumble. Then started to see the shock waves roll through the field. It was impressive. Earthquake was under 3 on richter scale

cqaigy2 - "washing machine out of balance". That a VERY GOOD description of how a quake feels when it starts. When you can no longer stand and fall down - it's likely to have been around a 6 or 7.

Been here in Amber for 40+ years now. Not even one quake - kind of nice.

We left Alaska for good - spring of '82. We were driving thru Tok on our way to Haines. We took the Alaska Marine Highway System - Haines to Seattle. There was a quake that we definitely felt, driving in our pickup

Alaska saying farewell to a Sourdough family.

Ours felt like a wave machine was hooked to the waterbed. Jon
