I work in Indy and didn't feel a thing, in fact I never heard anything
on the news.  It is only a matter of time before there is a major
quake on the New Madrid fault.  The way I understand it, the geology
of the midwest would mitigate damage because of the relatively soft
(if you want to call it that) geology.  The way it was explained to
me, is that the midwest is essentially a pan covered with jello (heh),
and that an equivalent earthquake out west would do less damage for a
given number on the richter scale.

Regards,
Bob
