It was sharp at first for about 5 seconds then it tapered off to a very, very slight tremor lasting the remaining 40-50 seconds.<BR/><BR/>Coming to Indy from Pittsburgh, I've never felt an earthquake before so it is a little unsettling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-30317562803687456292008-04-18T10:30:00.000-05:002008-04-18T10:30:00.000-05:00I hate responding to myself, but... the USGS rated this one a prelinary 4.5 according to their website.

This one was big enough to wake my sister (in Terre Haute) back up. None of the other aftershocks woke her. How do they decide if what we just felt was an aftershock or infact another earthquake, out of curiosity?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-15627811188199591112008-04-18T10:20:00.000-05:002008-04-18T10:20:00.000-05:00Just felt an aftershock at 11:15 AMSir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-67945713497586067012008-04-18T09:20:00.000-05:002008-04-18T09:20:00.000-05:00Yet more evidence of global warming....<BR/><BR/>Remember, every weather phenomenon can be tied to global warming.
