Not the Air Force this time...
It is not unusual for the Air Force to fly Stealth and similar planes low across the area where I live creating major vibrations. (It's flat, surrounded by farm fields, and probably a good place to train the flyers.) When I woke up at o'dark thirty this morning to a vibrating bed, that was my first thought, with a dash of "couldn't they have at least waited until 6?" But it wasn't them this time...
Earthquake, 5.2 at 4:37 a.m., centered on the border between southern Illinois and Indiana, near Olney, home of the famed white squirrels. Apparently it was (for an earthquake) rather shallow, which tends to lead to a wider distribution of the shock, but less intense damage at the center. So, I guess I'm okay with the early wake-up if it means less property damage and, from what I've heard so far, no serious injuries.
