What's Shakin'

At around 5:36am this morning, our shaking bed woke us up from our sleep. It lasted about 15 seconds. We immediately looked out the window to see if any of our neighbors also shared the same rumblings, but no one seemed to be alarmed. Nik was trying to figure out what was going on, but I was determined it was an earthquake. I turned on the news, and yep, the newsroom was getting hit with several calls. I guess the quake spread in parts of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Craziness!! I am so glad it woke us up though, what a cool experience. I remember it happening back in 1987. I asked Lance about it this morning, and he said he remembers it too. We were standing in our kitchen, and he and I both remembered the kitchen mugs swaying back and forth from the shelf they were hanging on. I couldn't believe he remembered that.

Did anyone else feel the shake this morning???
