Thursday Morning was a shaking cum shoking morning for Miami Valley residents. An earthquauke of 3.8 magnitude rocked Indianaat at 7:55:21 a.m. The Indiana Geological Survey had no records of a 3.8 magnitude earthquake in Central Indiana ever before.

The last major earthquake in Indiana on April 18, 2008, had a magnitude of 5.2 and was the strongest to hit the state in 40 years. The epicenter of that 5:37 a.m. quake, seven miles below the Earth's surface, was near West Salem, Ill., about 125 miles southwest of Indianapolis, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. That quake was considered to be associated with the midwest New Madrid fault.

If reports are believed then no injuries or damage happened in this natural calamity.
