An Earthquake Rocks the Midwest

A 5.2 earthquake was recorded near Salem and Bellmont, Illinois.
It was felt in the entire region. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal to those who live on the west coast or in Alaska/Hawaii, but it doesn't occur that often out here (especially stronger ones). Everyone is talking about it, and local special reports on TV have been on all morning.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Yup, we heard about it. Local non-catastrophic earthquake news probably isn't really front-page stuff, though. -- cortex
