Who else felt the earthquake in Illinois this morning?

Question

if so, where do you live?

Answer 1

Sure did!. It woke me up! The bed was shaking, the windows rattling, the dishes rattling. It was awful, and it felt like forever! I went to grab my baby boy (he sleeps with us) and head to the bathroom, but my husband said for us three to just stay in bed because we were in the safets location of the house (We have one story, and this house is very old, and our bedroom was the only room re-inforced from underneath i guess, plus nothing on the walls) my husband just held us until it was over. Very scary, but I didn't feel the after shocks. I hope it doesn't happen again. Thank God no one was hurt. We live in Ky, we felt it around 4:30 A.M. I believe. I was really scared, I knew it was an earth quake, Only because I remember reading the night before about some earth quake prediction in Cali, so that was my first assumption. My parents who live 20 min. from me thought it was a tornado (We get those a lot) and their house shakes during strong windy storms as well. They ran to the basement until they realized it completely stopped. They felt the after shocks.

Answer 20

Yes, I felt it and I live near Effingham, IL.

About three weeks ago my trailer fell off of its blocks and it shook like an earthquake when it did and fell about three feet. So when I woke up this morning I thought the same thing was happening again. Except it didn't fall so I knew that it was an earthquake.

My mom thought the puppy was scratching right by her. She moved away from the "puppy" and it stopped "scratching". LOL

Answer 21

I didn't feel it this morning, I'm a deep sleeper, but I did just feel something, I think it was an aftershock. At 10:16.

Answer 22

I live in the Kansas City area.  My 18 month old started crying about 4:40 this morning.  This is not usual for him.  I went in and covered him with his blanket, gave him a pat and he went right back to sleep.  On the news later they said that there were readings that registered in Kansas City right about that time.  

I just found that interesting but certainly didn't feel anything myself.

Answer 23

I sure did....

I am near St. Louis (on the Illinois side)

and it jarred me and my boyfriend out of sleep this morning!!

At first we didnt know what was going on and then we turned on the tv a few minutes later.

I have never experienced an earthquake before..I am from PA and just moved out here a few months ago.

Anyway, I also felt the aftershock at 10:20 or so. I was home alone when that happened and called my boyfriend right away!!

All I can say is...it made all the walls creek in our apartment and our bed was shaking!!
