So, apparently we had an earthquake last night...

Somehow, the couple years I spent in San Diego rather ruined me for any earthquakes under a 6 or so. Barely even noticed those since I was used to bobbing around in state 5 seas in submarines

 

I felt it at around 4:30 this morning. Took me a few seconds to realize what must be happening.

 

woke me up.

 

My cat was acting strange all night and woke me up running back and forth across the place around 5am, so I guess that explains it.

 

How many degrees?...
In mexico we usually have earthquakes, but its been almost
a year since the last one... Id a dream about earthquakes 2
nights ago... So i really dont want it to come just like the last year..
I dont like earthquakes, because when I walk I feel just like
to be drunk.... But if im not... why to walk like this?? I prefer to get drunk
and then walk like this. LOL
If someone felt it how it was?
U dont have many earthquakes in the US, despite California, Do U?

 

This quake from what i heard was about 5.4. All in the Ozark Valley (Southern Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri areas) Right were they are predicting the 'BIG' one could hit at anytime... I must have slept through it. I remember feeling one about 30 years ago though here in Illinois. Felt like a convoy of trucks going down a highway next to your house..... Just a small rumble/vibration...

So, when the big one hits, we all will know it... Great, just another excuse for the frigen gas companies to raise the prices again, they are averaging about 15 cents a day now.... I think we need a major quake to wake up this country..... But of course with no injuries..... and no Ferrari's damaged too.....

 

Gee, we must be having a lot earthquakes every night.

 

Ok, thanks for your information!
Very interesting.

 

How ironic is this:

my parents live in central Illinois. They have been in San Francisco for the past 2.5 weeks (dad had surgery).
my mom said: "can you believe it, we leave Peoria for the land of earthquakes, and miss the one in Illinois!"

 

I don't know if the earthquake caused this, but I couldn't open my front storm door yesterday morning. It's like the house shifted 1/8th of an inch. I had to use a rubber mallet and a block of wood to pound the door open (it wasn't locked) and now I need a new door and jamb. And the side door on the garage now fits perfect - it used to blow open.
