I felt it. I'm in Southern Illinois. Our house shook really bad. We have a door that rattles when it's windy and the windows are open, and it was rattling like crazy, which then caused my dog to flip out and bark like crazy. It woke the whole household up. No damage from anything, though we haven't checked the foundation yet. It was the worst one I've felt so far. My brother works up at CAT in Peoria and one of his co-workers felt it this morning, just a mild shake for him, though.

We just had a little earthquake at 8:05 pm here in -

Not very big by Calif. standards, but enough to make waves in the pool, rock my PC back and forth, and get everybody's wind chimes going.

Haha.... works better than coffee when it comes to curing that drowsy, nodding-off feeling!

Where was the earthquake that caused it? - nm

I felt the earthquake in Indiana sm

It was really scary. My daughter was upstairs while I was downstairs working. It woke her up and scared her to death.

Anyone from the midwest feel earthquake this a.m.
My husband had just left for work at 4:30 and the bed sharted shaking. Thought it was my cat and yelled out for him to quit. When it didn't stop I got up to look under the bed and drag him out but noticed that the floor was shaking too. I was totally scared but amazed also. I am only 28 and that was my first earthquake, just wondered if anyone else experienced it too. About 10:15 this morning we had an aftershock too while I was at work. My roller chair just kept moving away from my desk, thought maybe the floor was uneven and was sliding into a dip then I figured out what was wrong.
