Many people here in Michigan claimed to have felt the 5.9 magnitude quake, but I felt nothing at all. Odd, since the epicenter of the quake was as far away as Virginia. A lot of people suggest that the earthquake was caused by a process called "
fracking", as there are no faults in the particular region of the United States. There was a similar magnitude quake near where I currently live (Michigan) a year ago (I think). But I definitely felt that one, since it was a lot closer (Canada?).
