Earthquakes Shakes Kansas City

by Eliza Ferree

While most people were sleeping around 4:37 a.m., there were a few that felt the Midwest Earthquake. The quake was only registered at a 5.4 and centered just off West Salem, Illinois it did some damage but not much. But people in Kansas City and as far away as Michigan actually heard or felt it, animals seem to wake and bark to it while others had pictures fall off the wall. Currently there have been no reports of injuries due to the quake. Course this wasn’t the only one, about an hour ago there was another at 10:14a.m. at just about the same location that was a 4.6 magnitude.

Did you feel either one? If so what did it feel like? I thought I felt one the night before, but not this one. Kind of strange.
