A former resident of Ingersoll - Jamie Bray felt the earthquake at his residence in Battle Creek, Michigan.
"Around 12:22 p.m. or so, I heard and felt this reverberating rumbling. My first thought was that a large, heavy truck had pulled in front of the house. But, then the whole house started to shake and I could hear things creak from the shaking."
