    Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

    In Evansville, IN, it woke me up at 4:30. I looked around the room, and heard the sterotypical "earthquake" noise that you hear in movies. It stopped a few seconds after I woke up, and I asked Amber: "Was that an earthquake?" She said: "Yes." I responded: "Okay," and went right back to sleep.

      In St. Louis my house shook. I awoke to this pinging noise that seemed to be shaking the house. It was also windy this morning and I could hear the cieling tiles shift the way they do when the weather changes. It seemed someone was hitting my foundation with a sledge hammer. I was debating whether to call the police or grab the flintlock or baseball bat. But then I haven't done anything to anger the homies.
      I had enough time to run outside to investigate the pinging realized with astonished disbelief what it was. I was in the process of waking up the kids when it stopped.
      There were reports that they closed a street due to debris. But whether it was from an accident or otherwise was unknown when I left for work. There were also reports of a ruptured gas line in North St. Louis.
      Otherwise, I think St. Louis got through unscathed

        John,

        Saw the quake on CNN..... My Mom said it shook her bed and woke her up in Crawfordsville Indiana.

        I think the only shaking of the earth happening out in Virginia this weekend will be from the guns on top of Malvern Hill!!!! Sadly the guns will be Federal.....

            Yep and about 10:15
            Shook the computer. I went up and down the hall but the students do not seem to have noticed. Only one other teacher felt it. This is my planning period.

                  Yeah, I just heard about it on the news. I was driving at the time and it felt like my engine was about to stall... Thank goodness it was the quake and not my car breaking down!

                  This has been a very "interesting" day.

                    Yup felt it all the way down in Eastern KY, 65 miles southeast of Lexington. Initial reports on the Lexington News was a quake at 5.4

                      Yep, I felt it too. I was getting ready for work when it hit and dismissed it as another one of Camp Atterbury's training tools. Didn't know it was an earthquake until I turned on the car radio.. I missed the big aftershock- was flying up 65 on my way back home from a store visit in Louisville at that time.

                          I am right near St Louis.

                          Got up early for a trip to our cabinet factory for a load of cabinets. I was on the toilet when I felt a rumbling like a semi truck going by. Then it changed to a more distinct and powerful shaking motion that was obviously not a semi.

                          My first thought: "Is this the Big One from the New Madrid fault line they have talked about? Its due after all...

                          Second thought: "IS this going to continue, and maybe even get worse?"

                          Third thought: "Elvis died on the toilet! I don't want to be remembered that way!"

                          I finished and got dressed quickly. ;)

                          It was interesting. No damage, just a neat way to wake up seeing it was minor.

                            I didn't feel anything in Detroit, but all of the neighborhood dogs started going wild.

                                I live in a suburb near Chicago and having been up late to finish a paper for school the next day, I was fast asleep when people supposedly felt it. I got phone calls from people asking if I felt it, and promptly relied no, hung up, and went back to sleep. But today during school I walked into our theater to work on some things for our up-coming musical, and I felt a shudder. Some of the set onstage rattled, and the crucifix(we're doing jesus christ superstar btw) was leaning up back stage & fell over.
