@syxle no it's not that bad. Just doesn't happen here much. Last quake like this was 1968. Bet California folks are laughing at us.

So that's what woke me up! I was dreaming it was an earthquake, but I figured the noise came from the airport (which is not too far away).

Talk about your heck of a good morning! I didn't know there were faults near Chicago.

Glad it appears like no serious side effects happened.

Woke me up to. I am in KY about an hour South of Louisville. My bed started shaking around 4:35 a.m. Well, good morning Jay here is an earthquake to start your day.
