[00:00:05][music] [music] >> Good afternoon everyone. I'm glad you're here. Thank [music] you very much for joining me.

[00:00:21]In the area that's more prone to severe weather, there was a magnitude 2.7 earthquake between Ann Arbor and Monroe County, Michigan.

[00:00:32]Did you feel it? People in Detroit and also Toledo said they felt this earthquake.

[00:00:39]It occurred late last night at 5:32 p.m.

[00:00:43]local time. Geologists are saying that this earthquake could have been caused by what's called the Bowling Green Fault System and it runs down here into Ohio.

[00:00:54]So, it probably extends further uh towards the north. I believe it was close to Ann Arbor uh where I had one UFO experience with my aunt. I did a video about that.

[00:01:08]Yeah, earthquakes in this area are not very common. You could have one, maybe a magnitude four that would cause damage, but that's highly unlikely. 197 people said they felt this earthquake and USGS gave it an intensity level of four.

[00:01:27]Here's the felt map from USGS. You can see Detroit.

[00:01:31]A lot more closer to Toledo, it looks like. The furthest to the south, they don't give um a name for that one.

[00:01:40]Let's see if we can find any names here.

[00:01:44]No.

[00:01:46]Closer to the epicenter. Okay.

[00:01:49]Um 16 report intensity level four.

[00:01:53]Another 28 reported intensity four.

[00:01:58]And one from over here.

[00:02:01]Some of the reports that were sent in to EMSC. I really appreciate it when you put your reports for us to view. Here at Carlton, they said that the whole house shook and then they heard a loud boom, rumble. It scared them. I thought something huge had blown up.

[00:02:19]Another one said they were inside their Rockwood, Michigan house and they heard a booming noise outside and then the windows rattled. I felt the house shake a little.

[00:02:31]So, it was light shaking, but did you have damage? Uh do you have any cracks in your plaster or driveways, things like that? Put your comments down below.

[00:02:41]And what did you think when you initially um either heard or felt the earthquake?

[00:02:47]No aftershocks have been reported and this is what they can call or consider a intraplate earthquake, meaning it's not along any known boundaries or fault lines.

[00:02:59]So, stress built up from something, I don't know.

[00:03:03]Yeah, it could be an unknown fault zone.

[00:03:06]Rivers and streams often follow um the path of faults.

[00:03:13]I don't see any names listed for this waterway.

[00:03:17]Yeah, so those of you that live there, maybe you would know.

[00:03:23]Maybe it's just a creek because you can see there's lots of vegetation that goes through here.

[00:03:32]Okay, we got a name over here. It says Stony Cre- uh Yeah, Stony Creek.

[00:03:38]All right. So, put your comments down below. Thank you very much for watching.

[00:03:42]Please like, share, and subscribe and I will talk to you later.

[00:03:47]God bless you all. Bye.
