EARTHQUAKE!!!

"The U.S. Geologic Survey reports that an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.2 struck the Midwest about 5:37 a.m. The USGS website says the quake was centered near West Salem, Illinois." Yes, that's right, we experienced an earthquake this morning. I woke up to the bed shaking and hearing furniture knocking. I immediately thought Andrew was being funny and shaking the bed, because his alarm had already gone off for him to wake up. So I said, "stop shaking the bed" and he said he wasn't. That's when it clicked that we were having an earthquake. It lasted for probably 20 seconds. As far as I know now, we do not have any damage at our house or surrounding areas near us.
