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.

sure it WASN'T the dog?
actually.. funny you asked - I just hit up slashdot and they have a link to the US earthquake info site.. here are the events from today:
http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/cus/
you probably felt this one:
21 miles SW of Vincennes, Indiana APR 18 2008 04:36:58 CDT 5.2 magnitude
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.
there was a second one 6 hours later near you too:
20 miles SSE of Olney, Illinois APR 18 2008 10:14:17 CDT 4.6 magnitude
Yep, felt that one too while at work. And I know it wasn't the dog again.
Some CNN videos regarding the quake:

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.
one of the girls in one of my classes said she felt it but i for sure didn't. so at least one person in Mke felt it.
Slept right through it. I felt the aftershock at 10 though
