Quake Rattles Marion

U.S. Geological Survey

Some southern Illinoisans reported feeling the shaking as an earthquake rattled an area just south of Marion Thursday night.

The quake, registering a 2.7 on the Richter Scale, didn't cause any damage. Many who felt it say they thought it was just thunder or a truck rumbling by.

Residents in and around Marion, as well some in Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee reported feeling the quake around 8:30pm.

You can get more information on this and other earthquakes at the U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake page.
