Earthquake?

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Last night, my wife and I were woken at 4AM by what we thought for sure were just high winds. But 20-30 mph winds don’t cause the house to creak and you to feel a small, but real sense of motion. Turns out there was an Earthquake last night in Northwestern Illinois, about 30 miles from where we live. Only a 3.8 on the Richter scale, but I still must say I’d never thought I would experience an earthquake in the Midwest. Wild.
