Earthquake jostles Indiana, Illinois residents awake this morning
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
As most local residents lay sleeping in their beds this morning, an earthquake shook much of Illinois and Indiana at little after 5:30 a.m. this morning.
The large tremor, measuring between 5-2 to 5.4, had an epicenter near West Salem, Illinois, more than 60 miles from Evansville. Reports indicate the tremor was not only felt in Indianapolis – but could be seen as some of the city’s tall skyscrapers moved.
Several local residents have already sent messages in this morning, indicating they felt the quake locally as well.
One Talk of the Town reader, a Warsaw resident, wrote that she felt the quake this morning and sat straight up in bed saying, “Earthquake!!”
