There was an Earthquake this morning!

At 5:37 this morning, I felt my bed shaking for about 45 seconds. It really freaked me out, because I thought someone had run into my building with their car. I turned on the news, and found out that it was an earthquake. Here's the news story: Residents across the Wabash Valley are awakened by an earthquake at 5:37 a.m. Friday. The U.S. Geologic Survey confirms that it was a 5.4 magnitude on the Richter scale. The center of it was 24 miles southwest of Vincennes, just inside the Illinois line, near West Salem. It was felt in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. For some people, it lasted 10 seconds. For others, as long as 45 seconds. If it stays at a 5.4 magnitude, this will be the strongest earthquake in Illinois history. The last Illinois earthquake with comparable magnitude was in Olney on June 10, 1987.
