Earthquake?

[calger459]

According to the news right now, 5.5 earthquake in Illinois (yes we really do have fault lines, no they're not quite like the ones in CA), effects felt in central Ohio, lots of calls to the news station wondering what's going on blah blah

I felt it while I was checking my e-mail/LJ in the morning before work. I'm not surprised you slept through it, I wasn't even sure if I felt what I thought I felt.

I felt a minor thing for about a minute somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00 this morning. I was temporarily awake at the time, but obviously not enough, because I kept wondering why using a certain French verb made the bed shake and the goddamn desk bang against the wall so much! [I did figure it out halfway through, at least. I'm just not used to earthquakes when awake.]

I bet tomorrow the newspaper here is full of all those articles that circulate every few years about how "OMG, we haven't had a major devastating earthquake for over a hundred years. WE MUST BE DUE ANY DAY NOW."

I read about that too...

I live in West Michigan, and apparently the ripple effect was felt here too, though I didn't notice anything. I think we were right on the edge of it, though I have felt them before when I used to live in San Diego, CA.

Hehe, don't remind me about Calc. I'm still anxiously awaiting my test results, which come out on Tuesday. ^_^;;
