Earthquake rocks Mid-South

Yesterday afternoon, my roommate and I told each other how we had been woken up around 7:30 that morning because of what we thought was the door slamming. He said it was so loud that it shook his bed. We both thought it was just our obnoxious roommate coming in or leaving (our fourth roommate was at home for the weekend).

Then today we saw in the news that a 4.1 magnitude earthquake hit along the New Madrid fault near Manila, Ark. The tremor happened at 7:37 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and it was felt in five states: Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and MISSISSIPPI (as you can see in the graphic below). Is that cool or what?
