Looks like it was a New Madrid shift from the area affected.

Clearly, God is not happy about Nebraska’s ban on gay marriage. No earthquake felt in Iowa.
3.5? That’s no earthquake!
Call us when the quake’s a 5.0, unless the 3.5 can be traced to the New Madrid fault. Then it’s time to get concerned.
More about the New Madrid fault here, which is supposedly quiet.

USGS has more about quakes, if you want to dig a bit.
More evidence of man-made climate change.
The science is in!
In Nebraska?! Christ I hope it wasn’t caused by yellowstone.
Yeah 3.5 is more of a “ride” than an earthquake.
The Conspiracy version of the story. http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1310.htm
Maybe the pressure is building under the midwest, maybe Yellowstone is getting ready to awaken. Now that would be cataclysmic!
Slow news day ?
It’s Mother Nature’s response to Copenhagen.
Yes. Of course. Remember “The Day After Tomorrow”?Yellowstone blows up and the whole country is covered with ice and snow? Hell freezes over. That would be GREAT! We would finally be done with Fat Albert and his sycophants.
That wasn’t an earthquake. It was Algore and Michael Moore slowdancing.
O.M.G!
Breaking News!
An International Panel on anthropogenic Plate Change (IPPC) has engaged 2000 health care scientists, who have already submitted proposals for studies to prove that overweight Americans are causing earthquakes. Canadians are suspicious as the tips of glaciers in the Arctic have been shearing off more frequently around 6:00 PM… just as Americans sit down to dinner. Closer to home, Nebraska experienced a quake of 3.5 magnitude around 9 PM, when Americans sat down to watch TV. One Nebraskan suggested the quake was mild due to couches. The IPPC will be issuing dire warnings to the UN, just as soon as scientists submit their findings.
3.5 = a train going by.
Name me a place in the world that hasn’t had a 3.5
[Uh… Florida. – ed.]
OMG! Then it makes perfect sense for the Dems to close the SAC base in Nebraska! But it will have absolutely nothing to do with Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson failing to sign on to the Senate’s version of Obamacare. Perish the thought.
We get these tiny magnitude 2-3 earthquakes now and then down in Oklahoma.
Three point five? Whew! At last a disaster FEMA can handle.
