Tremors from a moderate earthquake centered in downstate Illinois rattled people in the Milwaukee area early this morning, but there were no reports of damage or injuries.

The earthquake, which measured 5.4 on the Richter Scale, struck at 4:36 a.m. near the town of West Salem, Ill., about 60 miles northwest of Evansville, Ind., according to the Chicago Tribune.

The tremors could be felt in downtown Chicago and as far north in Milwaukee.

Did you feel it? Did you know immediately what it was? Use the Talkback feature to let us know.
