I felt the earth, move.......

Yes thismorning around about 5:40am, I awoke to what felt like someone in my house shaking my bed although, I heard stuff on my dresser moving too. I was shaking for about 5 seconds then I stopped for about 2 seconds and started shaking for about 5 more seconds then stopped completely. I immediatly turned on the tv and grabbed Mike's gun out of the closet. My first thought was that someone broke into my house and since I live in a bi-level house, when you walk fast or run, it shakes the floor a little. so I searched the whole house and found everything quiet and in place. Then I put the gun away and went and checked on Brandon. He was sound asleep in the same position he was in when I checked on him before I went to bed.

At about 6:00am they announced on the news..."this is breaking now and it sounds strange but we have reports that we just went through an earthquake" I freaked out and started crying (mostly relieved that I wasn't nuts or going through convultions) and called my mom immediatly (as quickly as my little trembling hands could go)

I guess I scared mom cause she said "what's wrong?" right away. I said "mom we just went through an earthquake!" she said" your kiddin!" i said "No I swear it felt just like it did when I was a kid"

When I was about 10 or 11 we lived in Germany, and we went through an earthquake there too. I think that one was stronger and lasted longer than this one but I felt the exact same way through both. I was in bed for both and thought the same exact thoughts someone got in the house and started shaking my bed while I was sleeping!

They said that the center of the earthquake was along the indiana/illinois/kentucky border. I have heard people as far south as Nashville felt it. We are about 200 miles away from where they say the center was.

Brandon slept through the whole thing. When I tried to explain what happened I said "Brandon you slept right through an earthquake!" and I started shaking to show him what an earthquake does and he just laughed. He is easily amused!
