I felt it this morning, in Peoria, IL! Only reason was I heard stuff rattling, and I jumped up thinkin my windows being left open was letting rain in or something. Come to find out, everything is rattling...and I was confused off my ass. Couldn't figure out what was going on. Definitely very slight though...woulda slept thru it normally. My first quake! woohooo! lol

When i lived in Decatur, IL. There was a couple of times i'd come home and the pictures on the walls would be crooked and there would be a few small cracks in the drywall. But i'd never feel any of those trimmers.

I didnt feel anything. But then again, I slept on the couch and was pretty miserable all night. You could lay a doo on my face while I slept and I wouldnt wake up.

Well, I just had a client ask me if I felt the earthquake last night.
Apparently it was at 4:40 this morning.

haha, so that's what that was. I'm on a third floor apartment building and suddenly I felt the floors wobbling. I was like wtf...?

WHOA! JUST FELT ANOTHER!

Reallly reallly little - but my chair moved back and forth for about 20 seconds - the whole office, everyone's looking at each other like - whoa, another earthquake. That was kinda cool - my little rolley chair moved back and forth...hehe

Anyone feel that one? No idea where it was centered, I'm sure we'll find out eventually here.

I wonder if these aren't just ones leading up to a major one like in the 1800"s?

The one in the morning was the quake, just about an hour ago was the aftershock. My neighbor was talking about the morning one just a while ago and then felt this past one in the car... thought it was just running rough...haha. well, guess it actually runs as smooth on ethanol as gas... was worried for a sec

According to USGS there WAS another earthquake at 10:17 Central - centered at Olney, IL at 4.5 on scale. Sweeeet. hehe

people often forget that we are on the New Madrid Fault here in the midwest. Had a similar quake about 7 years ago down near Carbondale,IL. Haven't felt any yet, though the one at 4:30AM woke me up, but it was over before I eralized what happened.

I just barely woke up for it, thought i was a thunderstorm but it was clear out, went back to sllep before i could even question what happened. Im all the way in SOOH.

HA. Earthquake. I love 'em. Quick and gone, who needs weather alerts for hours/days when you don't even get a chance to worry. I have not felt a good one in years. Lots of earthquake weather and small signs like ants and dogs acting up around here last few weeks. I was waiting for one here in SoCal. Hope you all are ok.

ARIZONA FTW! Dust storms and Thunderstorms are the worst we get!

Dust storms suck. I'd rather get snow storms. lol
