Northern Illinois earthquake was near Fermilab Collider.

being born and raised in Illinois, we were'nt known as a quake prone area, i was born/raised in central Illinois and recall the stories of the New Madrid fault quake in grade school. but that's about all quake wise.

Precise plotting of earthquakes? In a nutshell YES. Nothing odd about that.

Something else strange.....though I can't really think how it could relate.

There has been a strange smell in the area around the quake.

Here's the link to the news story: "Fertilizer causes 'sewer' smell in Fox Valley"

Fox Valley is very close to Fermi. They are blaming it on farming. There still snow on the ground, hard to believe that many farmers are preparing the soil. I live in this area for over 10 years and nothing like this smell happened before this year.
