Earthquake.......
We just had an earthquake here at around 5:40a EST! Pretty crazy, I thought I was out of this trouble when I left Ca
I was in a pretty good one in 77 or 78 in Antioch, Ca. I think I was in the 8th grade. Wonder if Terry felt it this morning.

It sat me straight up in bed here in central Illinois. Like you said, at about 4:40 central. We've got a pre civil war brick house. I'll be checking it over pretty closely today. Stu

Glad that is wasn't anything super severe, could have been interesting if I had still been down that way for work (was in the Jasper/Celestine IN area for a few weeks last fall). Guess I have a bit of added interest in it since I am a geologist and all, I know a lot of people don't realize that we have a fairly major fault line (the New Madrid Fault System) in the midwest.

My degree is in Geology as well. Due to one of those situations where "life happens" I haven't worked in the gologic field and am now a "safety guy"

Yeah, I have BS degrees in both Biology and Geology, and my MS in Geology. I'm currently a staff geologist for an environmental consulting firm.

I live in east central Illinois (Charleston, IL) which is 100 miles north of Evansville. My wife and I woke up from the shaking (earthquake) at around 4:40am. Further, we felt what we believe is an aftershock around 10:20am.

I didnt even know anything about it! I sleep SOUND!!
I also have a water bed so maybe it cushioned the effect? But I heard a friend say that it hit him and his neighbor so hard it shook the hub caps off his new house
Seriously I didnt even know anything about it til I got to work and dad told me about it. I do sleep very soundly once I manage to get to sleep.
