Anyone else feel the earthquake this morning?
« on: April 18, 2008, 01:36:34 PM »
About 5:37 am EDT, felt like someone was trying to pickup our house here in Indianapolis, IN.  Woke our daughter up, but the dog could have cared less.

Yes, the epicenter was in Southern IL, and only ranked as a 5.2 on the Ritcher Scale - mild/non-existent for a Californian.  But to us midwesterners, that felt it, it was kind of exciting.

And while our Boston Terrier can pass explosive gas to blow the windows out of the house, I was SURE it wasn't her.

Yep, felt that one too while at work.  And I know it wasn't the dog again.

I haven't talked to them yet today.  I'd be interested to see if anyone in Milwaukee, Kansas City or Little Rock felt it.
