It's all over the news here in Cincinnati, but I didn't feel a thing.

I usually sleep until the alarm goes off at 6, but this morning I woke up at 5:30. I didn't think anything about it until I got to work and everyone was talking about the earthquake. A lot of people were awake at the time and said they felt it. Very wierd. I'm guessing that is what woke me up! (I live in Northern Indiana)

I didn't.
Even though one of my neighbors is the San Andreas fault (part of the separation between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates) I didn't feel a thing. ;)
I heard the epicenter of the quake was near Salem, Illinois and that the magnitude was 5.4 so that was another factor in California emerging undamaged from this one. ;)

My mirror on the wall rattled so hard it woke me up. I would never even think of an earthquake. (Especially when I'm half asleep!) I just figured it was my cat acting crazy. I found out what it was this morning and I couldn't believe it. I live in Southern Illinois and I think the usgs says that we're overdue for one.

Yes, I sure did...I felt it much stronger than the ones centered in Illinois late last month. I was getting ready for work, and at 625am I felt what I thought was a huge truck rolling down the street. And immediately realized...that wasn't a damn truck! I felt the vibration and heard all of our windows rattle.

At first I thought it was the wind, but then it just kept getting harder. It was really freaky.

Yikes, I'm glad I missed it.

It was really brief though. I just looked at my husband and said "Did we just have an earthquake?" They do happen here periodically. The last one I rember was like 15-20 years ago.

I'm very glad to read that, Cyndi. :)

I hope that everything is OK at home.
