At least 49 people were reported killed when a major earthquake rocked the Beechmont Baptist Church in Louisville, KY on Saturday, March 8th, 2003 at approximately 8:00:00 PM (EST) during an Amherst performance at a rock and roll show. The quake left 1,000 homeless, collapsing houses and causing wide spread power outages throughout Kentuckiana. The temblor which lasted about 20 minutes sent residents panicking into the streets in a riot.
