You can see in this map above that small blue box. This is the starting location of the earthquake. It is right around 15 miles east south east of Kokomo, Indiana. And around 50 miles north north east of Indianapolis. Or you could say in southeast Howard county right around Greentown, Indiana. This earthquake started around 7:55am EST this morning. Take a look how wide spread the earthquake reports are in this map below.
Each and every light blue to a kind of dark blue box is an earthquake report! You can see how many people felt this one. Areas in IL, IN, MI, OH, Even a very few in KY. Most of everyone in the Lafayette, area reported only feeling Weak Intensity with no damage! Even areas right around the starting point of this earthquake around Kokomo, and Greentown, only reported Light Intensity with no damage! So thank goodness this has only been a weak earthquake. So how big was it? Well, it was a 3.8 Magnitude. It's always a top story when Indiana sees an earthquake. We usually see severe thunderstorms not LA, earthquakes lol. Here are a few post from the locals in the WLFI viewing area on this earthquake. Take a look.Felt it in rural Francesville...Heard a rumble, boom and felt shaking for a few seconds...
`
Felt it in Rensselaer, thought I was going crazy, glad to know I am not lol...
`
felt it barely between logan and idaville, enough to make me think I was crazy and I just went back to sleep...
`
At work and my computer screen wiggled. Strange...
`
It was a loud bang and made my windows suck in and out, a alot of shaking...
`
thought I was losing it! I sure did feel it!...
