I just thought I'd post this Illinois Earthquake. . . or is this the second one that's now struck up there in Illinois? Because I seem to recall one that was felt in St. Louis this week, also!!! Maybe there's a big one coming for that already occasionally shaky Illinois Region! Now I remember, this one struck at like 2am so there is virtually NO Felt Report I suppose everybody was probably sleeping!

Right this moment I'm planning a trip to that "Moravitz Car Launch" as seen on "Tru-TV" where they launch the cars off that cliff!!! https://www.facebook.com/Moravitz-Car-Launch-125946897450075 Takes place way up in the Northern Regions of the Mid-West and so I'm leaving immediately after work Friday. . . that is if nobody volunteers to fill-in for me! At this point there's no knowing if we'll be doing "Earthquake Minute" so I will just add an update when I get home from "Up North" whenever as well as probably some pics from the big Car Launch Day, too! Gates open at 10am, first car launched at Noon on Saturday!!! See You There!!1 EQ Guy
