At 7:55:21 local time (12:55:21 GMT) a magnitude 3.8 earthquake hit the Kokomo, Indiana area. The Kokomo Tribune reports that residents of the north central Indiana town heard a "boom" and felt a rattle at 7:55 a.m. There were no reports of damage.
The US Geological Survey report for the quake includes a "shake map", based on citizen reports of quake intensity; according to the USGS, the quake was felt in Ann Arbor and in Dexter by a handful of people, with seven reports from Washtenaw County.

I think I felt it here on the Old West Side. I thought it was someone on the porch or a big truck going by.

Finally, yes, I did feel it in SW Saline, and it lasted maybe a few moments. Almost like a large truck was going by. Thanks for confirming that - I actually jumped on twitter and AA.com to see if someone posted about it - and when I didn't see much - dismissed it as maybe the cats jumping around :)

I didn't feel it but wasn't there another similar size earthquake last year? There's always seismic activity but he New Madrid Seismic Zone aka New Madrid Fault Line hasn't had a big one in quite a while
