I was wondering what that was all about...
I thought the cats were fighting under the bed again... but there were no yowls.
Interesting.
But then, I've been through so many Anchorage minor quakes that stuf like that barely registers with me.

Yes we felt it. It felt like the entire house was being kicked off it's foundation. Both of us sat up in bed, going from sleep to awake in a heart beat, and said "what the hell was that"? I wasn't sure what to do, I almost grabbed a pistol thinking it was somebody kicking in the front door.
I been quaked ................. WOW!!!! And I didn't have to go to California to do it.

Joe, maybe it's the back-lash from all that wind you had at the range recently. Darned Illinois is one state you don't tie in with earthquakes and such. What's next pray tell?

We just had an aftershock hit at 10:12 here in Springfield. My chair started wobbling around and the computer monitor was shacking too.
That was weird, and I'm sober ............
Here's the article on FOX news about it:

I was living in the San Francisco area (San Mateo to be exact) during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. That was the 7.1 World Series earthquake. Now that one got my attention. This earthquake here today definetly has everyone in my little corner of Indiana talking. I know the California folks are laughing at us, though.
That describes how I feel about tornadoes, I don't get too worried until the roof starts shaking. The California natives I used to work with all seemed pretty nonchalant about earthquakes but absolutely horrified at the thought of tornadoes.Heck 5.4 I dont even roll over in bed until its more then a 6.0 magnitude.
5.4 is just Mt Rainier or St Helens saying good morning.......JReed wrote:Heck 5.4 I dont even roll over in bed until its more then a 6.0 magnitude.

you can go ahead and freak out about a little tremor while we freak out about a little rain.
The wierdest thing about the last quake was watching the water slosh out of the swimming pool. We must be on a plate that shifted, the water stood still, and spilled out of the moving (in ground) pool.

I slept through the first one. Then my co-workers panicked during the aftershock about six hours later. I barely noticed it. I mistook it for jet engines, actually. Though if you've got jets flying low enough to feel the engines rumbling while you're on the ground on the street where I work, something's about to hit a building.
Let's see. The first plague was tornadoes, then floods, then Chicago politicians-- er, locusts, and now earthquakes.
Yep. Election time in Illinois is right around the corner.
