Midwest Earthquake!

[Ismenia]

We Midwesterners don't get earthquakes often so it is a big deal to us. Anyone else feel it?

5.4 earthquake rocks Illinois; felt 450 miles away


Actually at first, my cat woke me up. He was freaking out and meowing really weird. That time of morning is usually when he starts racing around the house and acting wild, so I didn't really think much of it. The entertainment center started shaking, which I thought was weird. I was kind of in a half awake mode. I thought, "How is that cat wiggling that entertainment center like that?" Then something fell in the bathroom. Again I thought it was the cat up to his old tricks. For one second, I thought.. "Hmm.. maybe my house is haunted." I watch to many scary shows!

You need to do a lot more than a 5.4 earthquake to wake me up at 4am! I slept right through it.

It woke me up right away cause it made my entire trailor shake. Was scary. Felt like it does when my washer is on the spin cycle, but I knew the washer wasn't on.

I actually slept better last night than I have in weeks.
