Indiana Earthquake

An earthquake with a magnitude 3.8 earthquake that parts of central Indiana Thursday morning shook - and even felt by some residents of Chicago.

    U.S. Geological Survey initially estimated the strength of the quake had a magnitude of 4.2, but that number has declined since.

    Residents of Chicago, Naperville and Buffalo Grove, Illinois, told NBC Chicago felt their beds shake and ceiling fans have seen their motion Thursday morning. A geophysicist told the AP an earthquake measuring 3.8 "feel like a truck goes through."

    The Geological Survey of Illinois was not in the magnitude 3.8 earthquake in central Indiana for a single track after the Indianapolis Star. The Director of ISM, said the Star that the situation of earthquakes - about 3 miles below the earth - "very irregular" and "extremely rare" is.

    Indiana last big earthquake was 18 April 2008. The magnitude 5.2 earthquake was the strongest in the state in 40 years, reports meet the star.

    No injuries or damage were reported at 9:30 CT.
