| I know this isn't trucking related but we had an earthquake this morning at 4:30 am this morning. Registered 5.2 on the richter scale, for those who don't know we're on the New Madrid fault line along with Memphis and it's the 2nd one that I know and it was felt as far north as Wisconsin to as far south as Georgia. The epicenter was 5 miles from Mt. Carmel, Illinois which is on the Illinois/Indiana state line. Now this is a red flag because we're due for a big earthquake here in the midwestern United States. :shock: |

You live much closer than we do, Double L; but we also felt the quake in southwest Michigan. Today's quake involved the Wabash Valley Fault, an extension of the New Madrid Fault. Another term to look up is "Caborn Fault".
