Good morning again!  So, did you feel the earthquake this morning?  According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 4.0 quake hit about nine miles outside of Sikeston, Missouri around 3:58 a.m.  No major damage or injuries have been reported, but people from across the four-state area did report feeling at least a rumble early this morning.  We will have complete details of today's quake coming up on Local 6 Midday.  Here's a preview of the rest of today's show.
