4.0 Earthquake Rattles Southeast Missouri

So, did anyone feel it and how far away from it were you? Soak?
What kind of earthquake would it take out on that fault line to hurt the Wolf Creek Dam or the dams/locks for Land Between the Lakes?
If there was a quake right at the dam what is it supposed to be able to withstand?
