Default River Effects of Earthquake

I was wondering if anyone was on the river around Evansville last Friday? I would like to know if there was any noticable effect from the earthquake that happened in that area.
I know a quake the size of the New Madrid quake, 1800's, was noticable. The river current running the wrong direction tends to get people's attention. If the recent 'quake was felt, on land, as far away as Chicago and Cincinnati, was there anything felt by people on the waters of the Ohio or UMR? If so, what type of things were felt or noticed? Have the lock workers mentioned anything?
I know that vessel movement and engine virbration were two feelings it took a day or two to get use to when returning to a towboat. If anything was felt on a vessel, was it noteably different than the usual movement found during day to day operations? Was there any ripple, wave, or surface action that stood out as markly different?
As informed (Nosey) as we river people like to be, someone must have something to offer to this question.
