I never knew earthquakes could cause thunder like sounds until the small quake in the Chicago area.

Please post it ASAP. It sounds like HAARP!
This sounds like the weird lights in China when that huge earthquake hit last year!
HAARP! Chile HAARP! Earthquake! HAARP! WeirdLights.HAARP!

HAARP! Chile HAARP! Earthquake! HAARP! WeirdLights.HAARP!
CREATING AN OUTSIDE AND UNNATURAL GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SET. THE MOON CANT DO ITS JOB RIGHT. EARTH CRUST EVEN SLIGHTLY WILL MOVE TOWARD TO NEW GRAVITY OR BE DISRUPTED. THE EARTHS SERFACE COULD CRACK APART.
just saying. just a thought.

we don't KNOW... we don't know everything there is ... I mean we can assume it can't be possible that an outside gravitational wave set could be at hand here..it is just another thought, just another theory, just like science always wants to explain everything

A Chilean reporter, Cecelia Lagos, was just interviewed on CNN and said when the earthquake happened the sky changed colors. She said she was afraid it was the end of the world and that she saw the whole buildings crumble into giant cracks in the earth "just like in the movie 2012". So... are there other reports of changes in the color of the sky during an earthquake?

Thank you Phage. We all wished you were around all night to walk us through this.
This is incredible, but i have to say its also a learning experience!
Earthquake lights occur before, during and after earthquakes. They are cool and quiet, colored white or blue or red. They are usually dim, but sometimes are brighter than moonlight.
They take various forms: globes, bands, rays, sheets, clouds. They tend to rise from the ground. They have been reported at sea. They may flicker or shine steadily. They may be silent or accompanied by a crackling or bristling sound. Sometimes light boils from the ground like flames. They may be as brief as lightning or glow for several minutes.
Earthquake lights have been accompanied by low-frequency radio noise in the 10 to 20 kHz range.
Earthquake lights have been seen weeks before or after earthquakes and hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter. They are more common in areas of hard, crystalline rocks and near dip-slip rather than strike-slip faults.
It is clear that somehow, subterranean stress in an earthquake zone is transformed into a luminous phenomenon in the surroundings. Most of the theories proposed are unconvincing.
•Heat: Friction on the fault might heat particles or ignite ground gases. But the heat would not move swiftly, nor would it occur without earthquakes, nor is there enough gas (such as methane) in most places.
•Radiation: Radon gas is released by fractured mineral grains and could ionize the air, but the quantities are too small.
•Triboluminescence/triboelectricity: Some minerals respond to mechanical strain by generating light or electric charge—but not enough of either.
•Piezoelectricity: Quartz crystals generate voltage under strain—but not enough, and the resulting currents cancel out in real rocks, and besides rocks are electrical insulators.
•Streaming potentials: Moving fluids in narrow cracks tend to become electrically charged—but not strongly.
The best theory of earthquake lights comes from mineral physicist Friedemann Freund, who took a frustrating fact and made it the cornerstone of a new hypothesis. Under the conditions of most earthquake faults, lab experiments show that rocks are electrical insulators. But the experiments are very frustrating because rock samples conduct electricity well along their surfaces. This swamps the effects being looked for, unless the samples are first roasted in vacuum. But at that point you don't have realistic rocks.
Freund realized that mineral grains in ordinary rocks are naturally full of flaws; specifically, oxygen atoms in imperfectly ionized states. There are millions of oxygen atoms in every piece of silicate mineral with one electron short, bound together in peroxy bonds. When such a bond is broken for whatever reason, the result is a pair of "holes" of positive charge, or p-holes. Anyone who knows the physics of semiconductors knows about holes. They carry charge, in their way, just as effectively as electrons do.
In the lab, rock surrounded by vacuum or air naturally has its p-holes move toward the surface, where they generate the unwanted conductivity. In nature, holes tend to stay put unless activated by rock stresses. Then they move readily through most igneous and metamorphic rocks, unlike electrons. Freund conducted experiments that impacted rocks to activate clouds of p-holes. Calculating that the charge clouds might trigger optical and radio waves, he added sensors that in fact detected light and radio noise on sample surfaces.
