Chcago has a small 4.3 quake today
A mild earthquake shook northern Illinois this morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported a 4.3-magnitude quake at 3:59:33 a.m. centered about 5.5 miles east of Sycamore and 3.1 miles underground. But it later revised the magnitude to 3.8, and said the epicenter was just south of Gilberts. The quake was felt over a wide area -- from Wisconsin to Tennessee -- but there were no reports of any damage so far, according to the Kane County and DeKalb County sheriff's departments, which are closest to the epicenter. "We got hundreds of calls," said DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott. "But we have no reports of damage or injuries. The magnitude and epicenter were revised after the U.S. Geological Survey studied the "wave forms" from the quake, said Amy Vaughan, a geophysicist with the geological survey in Golden, Colo. "The information was better understood," she said. The nature of the fault activity that caused the quake was unclear, Vaughn said. Past quakes that have affected southern Illinois have been in the Wabash Valley or New Madrid seismic zones. The fault systems in northern Illinois are not as well understood as those in other regions where earthquakes are more common, and more investigation will be needed to determine the cause of this morning's temblor, Vaughan said. A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near downstate West Salem on April 18, 2008. That quake was the worst to hit Illinois since 1968. By contrast, the earthquake that leveled Haiti on Jan. 12 registered 7.0 on the Richter Scale, meaning it was about 1,600 times the magnitude of the one this morning. Many of the numerous aftershocks to hit the island were approximately the same magnitude as the quake that hit near Sycamore today. Mystique |

Re: Chcago has a small 4.3 quake today
I didn't feel anything.
We also had over 12 inches of snow yesterday too. This morning we have beautiful blue skies, no trails, just plenty o' sunshine! Anyone from Illinois feel the quake? |

Re: Chcago has a small 4.3 quake today
Hello, I'm on southwest side of Chicago and I did not feel a thing. I did however, had a loud ringing in my ear last night it appeared out of no where. It was loud in my left ear last about a half a minute(It felt really uncomfortable and I wanted to cover my ear it felt like a static small pop like thing) then it lowered its sound and frequency and contiuned ringing for a long time. It happened around 7:00 pm central time zone. I even thought about would there be an earthquake soon. Only because I dont usually get that kind of ringing in my ear.
Ever since the Haiti quake and the thread about ringing in the ears I thought I would pay attention if I get something like that. I only wished I had posted for the record. I dont have experiences like that one. My sister did get a small migraine as well. However she does get them regularly. |

I'm in Wisconsin, I didn't realize at the time it was the earthquake I was hearing. They were predicting winds of 35 mph. so I assumed it was that.

Re: Chcago has a small 4.3 quake today
There was that really strange pollution warning that someone posted a while back. There were particulates in the air, and a big swath of area (weird for air pollution that's normally in cities, like Chicago). People were warned to stay indoors.
I wonder if it's related. Air quality alert issued for NE Illinois, NW Indiana February 4, 2010 4:04 AM The alert was called because of anticipated high levels of fine particulate matter in the air, according to the IEPA. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2...w-indiana.html That warning was for 4 states around Lake Michigan. |

Stewart Swerdlow commented on the quake today in his "Illuminati News":
"February 10, 2010 Shake & Freeze We here in the Great Lakes woke up to continued snow and wind with lake effect snow on the way AND an earthquake. The moderate 4.3 tremor was centered northwest of Chicago and was felt over a wide area from Wisconsin to Michigan and Indiana. Minor damage was reported in Illinois. The heavy snowstorm has moved east where a new East Coast blizzard will form today. Meanwhile, heavy lake effect snows are forming now over Lake Michigan and headed our way! The quake, not along any known fault line, was most likely caused by activities at the Fermi Labs particle beam accelerator west of Chicago.They are up to something--maybe KB related! Will keep you posted as I find out." |

Re: Chcago has a small 4.3 quake today
Nothing here in Bloomington. 777, you mention the two towers. Could they be not in Chicago, but Peoria, IL where there are the Twin Towers there? They were built soon after the twin towers in New York.
