I live in NewJohnsonville, TN. I am 150-180 miles inbetween Memphis & Nashville. I felt the quake & almost everyone working@Dupont today said they did too. Some even were woke up by it. I didn''t know what it was. I wasn''t watching the news or anything. Glad I wasn''t the only one who felt it.

Johna Todd, a dispatcher at the Edgar County Sheriff''s Department in eastern Illinois, said the quake rattled the area and led to numerous 911 calls, but all to ask why their homes were shaking rather than report damage.

Something tells me that someone sent a blog with someone else''s name since they used a full name. Shame on you regardless. Such language.
