Dammit so apparently there was an earthquake in southern Illinois that posted a record-tying 5.4 on the Richter.
Tremors could even be felt here in Chicago, shaking the tops of downtown skyscrapers.
Before 5 AM this morning. While I was asleep.
That sucks. I always wanted to experience an earthquake. Hell, I haven't even witnessed a tornado.
But I've certainly witnessed plenty of boonie yokels:
