Earthquake in Illinois? It's just a drop in the bucket.

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake rocked southeast Illinois, and the tremors could be felt as far north as Chicago. Weird, you say? Well, check out the U.S. Geological Survey's map that shows where all the earthquakes in the country occurred in the past week. You'll see the Illinois quake was the biggest in the continental United States.
