Springfield IL. here, I have hardwood floors in my bedroom, and the bed slid all the way to the other end of the room. I just held on for the ride.

I'm at 48 mile marker of I70 East and we felt two seperate tremors. Watching the Dayton, Ohio news when what I assume to be the aftershock wiggled a little. Hope all is well with my Hoosier and Illini friends. Dave

It was the first time I was in bed with my wife and she said that she felt the earth move.:O:

I was taking a shower at about 5:35 A.M. here in Cincy. When I got out, my wife said, did you feel that earthquake? I felt nothing.

Peliminary reports are pointing to a 5.4 magnitude earthquake about 41 miles northwest of Evansville.

This is so off topic, It's rediculous! Unless theres a trench down the straight at Haubstadt, I don't wanna hear this stuff!

Sorry Chris, Never ripped ya before

Illinois not the only place to have an earthquake - From the Indy Star:

Shaking up Japan
Northern Japan incurred a 5.7 magnitude earthquake, which the IRL drivers felt, Thursday morning.

"It was like a washing machine went off in my room," Darren Manning said. "It was like I was on a gentle spin cycle."

Well this is just my luck. I had just put a quarter in the bed and then this happens?

Can I get my money back? I felt like Chevy Chase in that vacation movie.
