>>It managed to get my attention in Chicago's south suburbs, about 250 miles north of the epicenter, and most reports seem to be from cities NW/north/NE of the quake. Anybody in Memphis feel it?

Although I have lived in the western US all my adult life, the only earthquake I've ever experienced was when I was in junior high school in Rantoul, IL. Go figure!
