An earthquake was felt in E. Tennessee that originated in Southern Illinois this Friday morning.

It was a moderate quake, which centered near the Illinois-Indiana state line, and measured 5.4 on the Richter Scale according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake was felt in St Louis and far north as Chicago. People reported that buildings near the center of the quake swayed from the quake.

Some people locally said they felt shaking, but no one reported any damage or injuries, although some damage to at least one building is reported in Louisville, Kentucky, according to CNN.
