Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.....

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

Woke me up sometime around 4:30 am.Thought I was having restless leg syndrome until I realized the whole bed was shaking and not just me!

Re: Anyone Else Feel the Quake?

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.
