catdoc Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Little bit of a rumbler this morning and wonder if you Indy folks felt it too. It looks like it was about a 5.4 magnitude centered in southern Illinois. Hubby and I were both asleep but woke us up immediately aware of what it was--really unmistakable. Weird thing was you could hear it before you could feel it. FWIW, my animals were clueless--so much for them alerting me to the danger!

Scalare102079 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sure did, woke both of us up and the dogs too! Haven't felt a good one like that since I left Charleston, South Carolina. Made sure none of my fish jumped out of the tanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Woke me up---my dog and cats were useless too Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revance Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was already awake trying to get Abby to go back to sleep when it happened. Not quite as impressive as the one a few years back in Evansville, but that was probably because I was IN Evansville when it happened. Dog didn't even wake up.
