Resdients of northern Kentucky and southern Indiana
needed no alarm clock yesterday morning as the area was
rocked by a mild earthquake. With an epicenter near
Evansville, IN, the quake occurred around 8:00 AM and
registered 3.9 on the Richter Scale. Even though
earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and greater are capable of
causing moderate damage, none was reported.

Fact
Will we have a white Christmas?
Historically, State College has a 50-75% chance of snow
cover on December 25th. Pittsburgh historically has a 50%
chance and Philadelphia has around a 25% chance. However,
Given the favorable pattern for lake effect snow this
season, snow cover will be most likely in the
northwestern part of the state.
