An early morning earthquake rattled northern Illinois on Wednesday, shaking an area about 50 miles west-northwest of downtown Chicago, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The magnitude 4.3 quake hit just before 4 a.m. CT 5 a.m. ET, with an epicenter about 3 miles underground. The USGS pinpointed the quake between the towns of Virgil and Sycamore. Several callers to CNN said the quake shook their homes severely, but there were no immediate reports of major damage.

Never leave home without a pack. Each 3600 calorie package contains 9-400 calorie servings. The packs are small enough for a backpack, purse or desk drawer. Heat resistant to 149 degrees so throw a couple under the truck seat and always have survival food with you.
Each pack is a three day emergency food supply
