Rob,

The earthquake in Fort Wayne was in 1986. Summer or Spring.
I was inside and I thought it was a jet flying over. People who were outside didn’t feel anything.

The April 2008 one woke me up. I didn’t know it was an eathquake at the time.

I think I can remember another one years and years ago (at least 20yrs), that I actually did feel.</p> I wonder what the strongest recorded earthquake in this area has been?

We're in the middle of having some major repairs done to our house, so my first thought was that part of a wall or roof had collapsed. But, then the radio started reporting that it was an actual earthquake. No damage here.</p> Well, I’m in Michigan, too (about an hour NW of Detroit), and we definitely did feel it.

However my sister who is in Bloomington, IN said her bed shook like mad. My parents are in Columbus, IN - I have yet to talk to them.
