Shawn Bell with the Mississippi County Sheriff's Department says they felt the earthquake and received several phone calls with some people saying it sounded like a vehicle was dragged through their house. Martha Knupp in Anniston says it sounded like a loud boom, then "stuff when to shaking." She said she got up to find several of her things in the floor.Cape Girardeau Police Sgt. Rick Schmidt says he's heard reports from several residents. However, he says it will be business a usual at the police station Tuesday.
A 4.0 earquake must really hurt. The last earquake I had was in my left ear and it hurt something fierce, but I still don’t think it was over a 2.5 on the earquake scale.
