I Hoped it Was
the rapture this morning! I heard a rumble and felt the house shaking and wondered what was happening. I thought maybe it was a sonic boom but the way the house shook made me question that. Finally, the news came on and I found out we had an earthquake here in the mid-west. We don’t have them very often so it is filling up the Facebook pages. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck just before 8 a.m. ET and was three miles deep. The USGS initially reported that the quake had registered a 4.2 magnitude, but later revised the estimate. Its epicenter was located about 15 miles east-southeast of Kokomo, and 50 miles north of Indianapolis.
No damage was immediately reported in Indianapolis, though some residents closer to the epicenter were surprised by the quake’s intensity.
