Minor Quake Shakes Lake Michigan | Lansing News

A minor 2.9 magnitude earthquake rattled Lake Michigan yesterday afternoon near Evanston, Illinois — offshore and just three miles deep. Though harmless and felt only slightly by locals, it’s a reminder that even the Great Lakes region can experience seismic activity. Since 2010, over a dozen quakes of 2.0+ magnitude have been recorded here, with the largest being a 4.2 near Galesburg in 2015. No damage reported — just a gentle reminder that the ground beneath us is never truly still. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
