Was woken up at 5:30 today by an earthquake (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gxPvXBa_kwldln7jw_kNT0EsoE1QD904786O0)! Rare in the midwest!
Fellow midwesterners, did you feel it, or sleep right through it?
Jeff, it should have been a little stronger in your neck of the woods.
I have the worst luck trying to sleep in.

Slept through it, though a neighbor called this morning and said she had felt it...
The news claimed folks as far as MI felt it - SP? Anything?
Nothing happened up here in the upper midwest.

So that's what that was! O.k. I have to say, not really scary so much as "Is there a raccoon in the kitchen? mrhl mmble".
Well, now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

If I am awakened it's usually the drunken frat kids across the street. But last night I slept soundly.
I felt dingus. Then again, on 19 September 1985 in Mexico, I was STANDING OUT BY THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYTHING and didn't have a damn clue that THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_Mexico_City_earthquake) was going on...so either I'm immune, or just...uh...
...dense.

I am voting for the latter.
You're prolly right, SB.
I'm in trouble with my wife for waking up just long enough to say "It's just the wind" then rolling over and going back to sleep. My daughter didn't even stir.
Heh. I was in Kabul when Pakistan had that massive Earthquake. It was the second or third... maybe even fourth 'aftershock' before I realized what I was feeling.
Sort of like a massage chair that included my feetses.
There is six inches of snow on the ground outside my window. It's April, and this is Seattle, where we don't usually get six inches of snow in January.
So earthquakes in the fairly geologically stable Midwest don't surprise me at all. Clearly, the End Times are nigh.

Or drunk, or very happy, or both?

Saying "Dr Rotwang! doesn't drink" is kind of like saying "The ocean's kinda deep".
Another "aftershock" this AM - 4.5 on the Richter. Anyone feel it?
Nothing up North that I felt...

Nada.
I'm in the St. Louis area, and it was about 4 am that I felt the first quake. I thought it might of been a sudden windstorm or a tornado or something. It took a little to realize it was the earth shaking.
I'm the only person who's here at night, so I didn't have anyone to reflect on the issue with. It didn't seem to disturb anything, and nobody lost power - which I would have known since I'm the one that answers those calls.
There was another one at 10:30 that was the 4.5, but I slept through it hard. It would have had to of been much more potent then 4.5 to have woken me at my morning sleep.
