Whole lot of shaking going on!!
How many of you felt the 5.2 earthquake this morning at 4:37am that originated in southern Illinois?... I always said I could sleep through a tornado, but obviously not an earthquake. The epicenter of this quake is only about 50 miles from me. We just had an aftershock just a few minutes ago...my monitor was shaking back and forth.... I know this isnt the California type quakes..but this just doesn't happen in this area very often...
Re: Whole lot of shaking going on!!
I was wondering if anyone here was affected.
Everyone okay? :confused:
Re: Whole lot of shaking going on!!
i am a looong ways away but i still lost power for about an hour and had a plate fall off my counter... the plate was the only thing that woke me up to feel it though.
the good news is, my cooler incubator only lost 1 degree in the hour we didnt have power!

As far as I know...just a few things knocked off of shelves, broken windows and such. The significant other woke up and said "Is that an earthquake" I said "Yes" she started to jump up, dont know where she was planning on going...lol, and I just grabbed her arm and said, lay back down...It last about 22 seconds.....All is well here...
Re: Whole lot of shaking going on!!
Earthquakes are a normal thing for me over here.
I was in SF when the 1989 Earthquake hit. I was young, and it scared the Bejeezus out of me, but it was a 7.0 magnitude...
5.4 is still pretty big.
I hope everyone wasn't too rattled.

Thas so crazy, we were just talking about that earthquake this morning on the way to work. Glad to hear everyone is okay.

Lol, no you wouldn't because you wouldn't feel it. =)
I'm glad to hear it sounds like no one has been seriously hurt. 20-ish seconds is a long time, hehe!
