A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck parts of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky early this morning. The epicenter of the quake was near Evansville, Indiana and could be felt in Chicago, St. Louis and down to Louisville, Kentucky as well.

There were few reports of damage immediately after the predawn quake, which struck at 4:36 a.m. (5:36 a.m. ET), but CNN affiliate WHAS-TV in Louisville, Kentucky, showed footage of rubble left in a street after a cornice fell off a brick building there.

The epicenter of the earthquake was about three miles below ground, six miles northwest of Mount Carmel, Illinois, and 38 miles north-northwest of Evansville, Indiana, according to the USGS.

It seems no matter what part of the world you live in that you will be open to some form of a natural disaster.

This quake registered on the richter scale between a 5.2 and 5.4 magnitude earthquake.
