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...

....Tattooed people don't care if you're not tattooed.

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.

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!
