Tell us: Did you feel an aftershock today?
(KMOV) – The U. S. Geological Service confirms that a strong aftershock shook the Midwest Friday afternoon. The 3.7 tremor hit at 12:31 and was centered just outside of Mt. Carmel, Illinois and about 207 miles from St. Louis.
This is the same area that the big 5.2 quake originated a week ago.
Moments after the latest tremor struck, calls started rolling into the News 4 newsroom. Viewers reported windows and shelves shaking.
Numerous aftershocks have been happening over the past week; however most were too small to notice.
So… did you feel it?
Woke from a dream and thought I was still in it.
I was in my kithcen and thought it was a quake but just in sure I opened the patio door and listened to see if it was a train down in Valley Park. I live a mile or so from Hwy 141 and the Meramec River and the train. No train, so I turn on the tv but no news at 12:30 or 12:45 so I thought "Which channel has that seimagraph in it's studio? I wonder if they have it available to view on the internet?"
Just sitting down to my favorite soap and the table next to me moved a few seconds. It was mild compared to the 5.2 shock, so I wasn't sure what happened. Imperial, MO
But I guess that more people who felt the quake would be the ones who see this survey, and who vote in it...maybe...
