2010 earthquake[edit]

The shock had a moment magnitude of 3.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IV (Light).[10] It was felt 214 km (134 miles) away in Madison, Wisconsin. When the quake was first reported, it was thought Sycamore was the epicenter. However, revised data from the USGS determined the epicenter to be closer to Virgil. This was the first earthquake in Northern Illinois since a M4.2 (intensity V (Moderate)) event in 2004.[11]
