My sister lives in Trafalgar, IN. I was talking w/ her w/in an hour of that. All of a sudden she looked up & saw her hanging light fixture circling above her. The house was quiet & she had been sitting while we talked. I said to hold it still & see what happens. W/in 10 seconds or so, it began to rotate again. Does anyone know if that fault runs northeast. Trafalgar is about 45 mins or so south of Indy. I'm really curious.

I was at my computer when i heard it and felt it. We had one here several years ago and if you ever hear one and feel it you know what it is when it happens again. It's a sound and feel you will never forget.
