Earthquake tremors rattle Chicago

Filed by Brad Flora and Kayla Webley on Apr 18, 2007 02:02 AM

At 4:36 A.M. Friday morning, tremors swept across the Chicago area, lasting for about 15 seconds and shaking high rises. According to a dispatcher on the city information line, hundreds of people began calling in from across the city immediately to ask if it had been an earthquake.

In Old Town, emergency sirens began sounding just twelve minutes later as car horns honked from the streets. More on this developing story as it comes in.

UPDATE 4:59 A.M.: A reader, Ed, has posted a link to the seismograph.
