Hey EARTHQUAKE!!!!

[Janet]

Well I've searched and searched and haven't seen anything on here about the earthquake we had this morning.

It shook my house and made the dogs bark.

But we are fine and I didn't really feel anything, just heard things rattling.

It registered a 5.4

That's the news for the day!!

Oh Janet, I saw that posted in song for the day.. You are serious wow!!. Are you sure that you were not dreaming.?. lol Thank God no damage, but it was pretty scary to feel the house shake...

[HALEY]

Oh my Janet i bet that was scary! Glad that your ok...

[toodles]

nope, Janet, you are not crazy in fact, if you look on YT, there were LOTS of people in the midwest and such that felt it. my daughters dad said he felt it this morning...and I thought he was crazy until I heard more about it. it seems there were SEVERAL states that were effected but I have not heard of any injuries or deaths or anything major.

Look at Kat's thread. She posted the news article. It says that nobody was hurt.

I'm glad you're okay Janet!

Sorry Janet, I didn't see your thread until after I posted my thread.

I slept right through it--found out about it on the news this morning. Apparently, the shaking was strong enough here to wake up everyone I work with, just not me.

I missed the aftershock, too, and I was awake for that. I was bathing a dog, and the groomer came into the room and said, "Wow. Did you feel that?" I had no idea what she was talking about. Everyone else at work noticed, just not me. Perhaps I have really good balance, so the earth moving isn't a problem?

I'm glad nobody was seriously injured.

That is so amazing. From what I've heard, there are lots of fault lines in the US, we just don't usually feel the shaking. We used to think the only ones who had to worry about quakes were folks in California. With all the high freeway bridges at huge interchanges in our major cities, it's kinda scarry (sp??). Hopefully the designers took that into consideration.

So glad all is well, and little or no damage for most folks!!

Same here. My whole household completely slept through the actual earthquake. And the one at 11:00 I was standing at a co-workers desk talking to him when he & everyone else starts going do you feel that, & still I felt nothing. Oh well.
