It shook Huntington, WV pretty good. I had just got home and went to bed to wake up to the whole house shaking pretty good. It felt strange. we are located at 38N and 83W.
Wow!!
Wow!!
My wife called out to me and woke me, but I didn't feel anything myself. Kids didn't wake up either, but they could sleep through an earthquake

I am in Western WV and I didn't feel a thing. Must have slept through it. I am North of Huntington .
So, what does having this earthquake in this part of the country mean? Could this be a precursor to a big quake in CA?

No, it has nothing to do with California. Your quake is related to the New Madrid fault which is located in Missouri. It is a fairly active seismic zone.

Was watching KTVI FOx this morning, Seismologists are actually worried that these may be Pre-shock not aftershock .
What's scary is that he said we won't know until it happens. LOL.
