There are fault lines all around in the oddest places. There is one in Alabama and sometimes when it gets to rocking, it can be felt 6 hours away here in Jacksonville, Florida. Sadly I havent felt it, but it can. My cousin has felt it in Atlanta, Georgia before. And there was recently a earthquake centered about 90 miles South East of Atlanta in a tiny little town in Jan. 
Okay wtf. I live in south milwaukee, and I was definitely up during this. I didn't feel a thing 
So weird to A) have an earthquake in IL and B) see the name of my dinky town in a bloop newsworthy entry.
