At about 4:30 last night, I woke up to find my house shaking back and forth. Having just woken up, i was a little loopy so i thought it was some sorta poltergeist or something and crawled up in a ball on my bed. The next morning, everyone is talking about an earthquake. It was even on Reggis and Kelly! Isnt that show filmed in Chicago or la or something? ThATs a lloooooong way away from me. THEN AT ABOUT 10:15, there was a shorter quake durring one of my classes.

So far from what I experienced, quakes are kinda fun, as long as they dont break anything.

EEEEK!  My wife and I were woken by the quake this morning.  She says she felt a bit of shaking but I only woke up 'cause of noise made by a single picture frame that fell from our entertainment center in the living room.  I heard the lamps on our nightstands wobbling, though.  We're about 150 miles from the epicenter.

I slept through it.   

There was one that hit several years ago, when I was living in Vegas.  At the time I slept in an upstairs bedroom and I woke up with the building swaying from side to side.  I remember thinking, "Oh, an earthquake," and turning over and going back to sleep. 

So I've got no issue with quakes, as long as I'm asleep at the time.

I didn't feel this one in Toledo.  A number of years back in Portland OR I was woken up by a quake at 5:30 am, which turned out to be a 5.3 located about 100 miles away. I was shaking for about 15 seconds.  After it stopped, I looked at the clock, saw what time it was, and did what any sane person would do after being woken up at 5:30 am by a quake -- I turned over and went back to sleep.  There was no damage in my apartment so I could.

HA! I use to do the exact same thing. Growing up in the San Francisco bay area, we got so accustomed to them that we hardly even noticed them.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

I live really close to the New Madrid fault and not that far from where the epicenter was at, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that I didn't feel a thing. Slept like a baby right threw it.

I live in eastern Iowa...right next door to Illinois and was awake when it happened.
Didn't hear or feel a thing.

Matter of fact, I didn't know there even was an earthquake until I saw something about it on the news later that morning.
