About 20 minutes ago here in Illinois, we just had an Earthquake!! I woke up about an hour ago and as it was happening I was thinking: "I know I'm tired, but the whole house is shaking not just me".
It was a magnitude of 5.4!

Wow! Thats crazy.
I hope you and your family are okay.
Wow nuts. I am thankfull I live in a geologically stable area.
wow what part of Ill do do you live. i got family in Rockford
He's in southern IL if I remember. Thats odd. Illinois never get earth quakes. Hmm, I'll have to talk with my family up in Gurnee. Plus one of the guys I live with (down the dorm hall) has family in Rochester. I wonder where the epicenter was.
Apparently people from Iowa to Indiana felt it!
Shake! Rattle and Roll!
I too am surprised by this. Not sure I have ever heard of a trembler in that part of the country. We get them here all the time to the point that if it is below a 5.0 no-one even bats an eye. (I live mere miles from the Loma Prieta faultline)
Glad it just woke you up and didn't hurt you.
Just happened again! Less than a minute ago right here at my Desk R2-M5 started a little dance!
