Damn, do this happen often in your neck of town?
We had one last night in the bedroom.....well, we made our own earthquake.
Felt in Eastern Iowa, well...actually I didnt really feel it, Im in the basement, but heard rattling upstairs....We had one a few years ago where the walls in the basement shook and I felt it a bit

It was creepy. I still can't tell you what I heard: I was expecting someone to come through my ceiling.
My dog didn't seem bothered by it.
Getting jolted out of bed by an earthquake is a very trippy experience. I have a post here somewhere about having really strange dreams an hour before the actual earthquake hit, like maybe some small preshocks had shook and my body had sensed them and something in the primitive parts of my mind started trying to wake me up by causing panic inducing nightmarish dreams.....I remember my dogs were barking for 30 minutes before the quake happened and we all have heard the stories of animals behaving weird before things like that....

Earthquakes travel far. When the Big Island of Hawaii had it's most recent 6.6 mag one it shook our Island of Oahu 170 miles away enough to trip the earthquake sensors at our power plants but uneven power compensation caused overloads when back-up generators kicked on leaving the whole Island blacked out for 14-18 hours. The week afterwards I sold dozens of solar powered battery back-up systems....
Did any places lose power out there in Illinois?
I don't think so I think there is something in certain people that may be more sensitive to tremors, I can take spinning on those little merry go rounds on the school playgrounds, when I was a kid I'd puke if it went too fast I think my inner ear is more sensitive. I was in Hong Kong in 1997 at a music store and I felt a little disorientation while looking through cd's, then 5 minutes later there was a small tremor that made the floor rumble like a big truck had just driven by it wasn't much but some people looked around at each other with a "Did you just feel that too or am I imagining things?" expression.from another forum
coincidence?
