Southeastern Ohio, I think.
Ironman92, what exactly did you feel? Any ground shaking?
I can remember two earthquakes that registered in central Ohio. During the first in 1980, I was driving, didn't feel anything, but I remember listening to the radio, and you could hear the needle suddenly skip and run across the entire record. The DJ was very apologetic, he said, "Sorry about that - I have no idea why it did that".
During the second one around 1986, I was trying to go to sleep late one night, and a few loose dishes in my cupboard started rattling for 4 or 5 seconds, like there was some vibration. I remember hearing the vibration and kind of a low hum, but I don't think I actually felt anything.

The one in '86 was a big one, or from my memory it seemed to be. I can remember it rattled the house and broke some dishes. I don't remember the 80 quake. I will have to ask my parents if they remember that one.Zunardo;1854947 wrote:Southeastern Ohio, I think.

I was about 15 miles away and my daughter was within 7 miles of it. Where I was at it was like someone with a 70's sports car with a ridiculous engine was in the driveway....maybe a nascar type rumble. 3 of in the room just looked at each other like what the hell is going on.

Looks like some drilling about 20 or miles away from where this occurred. I'm not real savvy on fracking though.4cards;1854951 wrote:...any fracking going on in that area?

The one is 1986 SE of Cleveland and a 5.0 on the Richter Scale.
I was in 1st grade at the time, our grade school was a 3 story building and my class was on the top floor and was just outside of Akron, OH.
We definitely felt it being on the 3rd floor, remember it to this day. Nothing that ruined my shorts, but definitely scary to a 7 year old.
The classes on the first floor didn't even know it had happened...

Mcarthur Ohio, Vinton county. Used to be known for its large dynamite plant.

Conspiracy theorist believe combining the mining history along with current fracking not far away, is indeed the cause.

Suppose I was considering earthquakes hit a fairly large area, as in multiple square miles. That (pretty much) includes all of McArthur. Had no success searching Google, for the locations of closed mines in Vinton county.Ironman92;1855132 wrote:Just a mile south I believe....roughly miles from the Austin Powder plant

When I was way younger (Licking County) I was in the family room of my grandparents house, laying in a recliner watching some "You cant do that on Television. When My Mother and both Grandparents yell into the living room: "Stop jumping around!". To which I said, "I'm not?" When they looked in at me sitting there it shook even harder. Still one of the strangest things I have ever experienced. Then again, it was the 80's, lots of strange stuff happened back then.
