Yeah. Ohio River valley is a soft spot. It has had at least one major quake in the last 200 years. Not meaning to spook anyone, but this baby shake could be a prelude to something more substantial.

Two or three, 1811-13; they were called the New Madrid quakes due to their
location in New Madrid, MO. Reported that the ground in the vicinity had
_waves_ in it 6 feet peak to trough. I'd have liked to been in an open field
securely seated when those went by... If one or two such were to hit again,
say farewell to Memphis and St. Louis. Estimated magnitude in the 7.5+ range.
