Earthquake STJ?
Hearing about a 4.5 off of STJ about 20 or 30 mins ago. In STX, we didn't feel anything. Any field reports?
Yep, the rumors are true. There was a series of 4.+ quakes in the last couple hours nearby. Here's the USGS email from the largest one:

Sorry. Should have been more clear. I got the email, too. Wondering if anyone actually felt it?
I felt it at 7:46pm then again at 7:48pm.
A little shakin' going on.
It looks like you guys had 10+ earthquakes in the last 24 hours or so and activity had been picking up for a week+. The strongest was 4.9 and a 4.6 near Jost last night. Any damage?
