Earthquake

Anyone else feel it? It woke me up.. very odd. I thought I was consciously dreaming. Turns out I wasn't. Pretty weird.

The Columbus Dispatch : Midwest earthquake felt throughout Ohio

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) -- A 5.4-magnitude earthquake that appeared to rival the strongest recorded in the region rocked people up to 450 miles away early Friday, surprising residents unaccustomed to such a powerful Midwest temblor.

Several callers to ONN: Ohio News Network reported feeling the quake.

One caller in Perry County said she woke to the shower doors in her bathroom shaking. A woman in Parma reports her laundry basket fell off the table. Other callers in central and northeast Ohio also reported feeling the quake.

The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt in such distant cities as Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, Iowa, 450 miles northwest of the epicenter, but there were no early reports of injuries or significant damage.

Something shook the bed enough to wake me up. I assumed it was the cat jumping off and so I went back to sleep. I didn't retire to wake up at no damn 5 frickin 30.

As I'm typing this, I think I'm feeling some smaller quakes.. my apartment has had some shakes a few times in the last couple minutes.

Feels like someone is behind my couch pushing it. :tongue2:

Of course watching the local news you would have thought this was the bay area in 1988.

Last time an earthquake of that magnitude struck the upper-midwest/Great Lakes was 1968.

1968 was a good year for OSU football.

It's an omen.

Oh, and the Spring Game in 2002 was a sloppy washout.

2002 was a good year too.

I had one about 10 miles from my house last year. I thought something hit the house. All in all it was nothing like the shit they have in Cali. Just goes to show that there is no perfect place to live.
