EARTHQUAKE!!

I woke up this morning shortly after 5:40 (at least, that's what our alarm clock says - David has it set a few minutes fast). The bed was shaking. I heard a noise - the sound of an off balance washing machine, as a news anchor so appropriately put it... I turned over and went back to sleep. I thought it was all a dream.

About an hour and a half later, when the alarm went off, the radio was playing "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King. They're saying it was a 5.2 magnitude, centered in Southern Illinois - just on the other side of the Indiana border. It was felt as far away as Chicago, Des Moines, and Good Ol' Indianapolis.

The ground was rolling underneath me, the frames were rattlin' on the walls! hehehe, too fun (just don't get any bigger, please!)
