Indiana Earthquake
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake at a depth of just 3.0 miles hit central Indiana at 6:55am local time, the USGS said Thursday. There were no immediate reports of injuries or major damages from the quake, which was centered 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis.

The epicenter was located about 15 miles east-southeast of Kokomo, 15 miles west-southwest from Marion and 50 miles north of Indianapolis. There were no reports of damage in Indianapolis, but closer to the epicenter residents reported being rattled.
Some buildings shook so hard, people thought vehicles had hit the exterior. 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.Central Indiana is home to a faultline, the Fortville Fault, which runs through Madison and Hancock counties. But Steinmetz said it was too premature as of 9 a.m. to determine whether the quake originated on the Fortville Fault.Reports to the Star felt the quake as far south as Mason, Ohio; north as Augusta, Mich.; and east as Dayton, Ohio.
People on the Northeastside of Indianapolis and in Noblesville said items were shaking in their homes and workplaces.
