That's what they are calling it. The 5.2 quake that hit Illinois today @ 4:37 a.m. and the subsquent aftershock @ 10. For me, I was awakened to my bed shaking; a very strange feeling indeed. I think this is the only earthquake I remember feeling. It made me realize the Missourian and Illini don't really think about a quake happening. I do remember a few years back, however, the mania surrounding the New Madrid "big one" and how we are overdue. We are still overdue and there will probably be a "big one" in my lifetime, but it is funny how it goes in spurts nof coverage.
Would you know what to do in an earthquake? If not, the National Safety council is a great resource.
