I thought at first that someone was in the house and I was about to get up and patrol the house. It sounded like someone heavy was walking on the roof, out in the living room and on my porch. Freaked me out! Then I hear that there was an earthquake in Illinois!! That's so weird!

My students and I then felt the 4.5 aftershock a little after 10:00 (Illinois time). Talk about a teachable moment.
Anyway, I believe you can see evidence of the Evansville Fault system in some of the caves of Southern Indiana. I know I have a photo of one with me by it, just need to find it.
