I felt my bed shake, but had no idea it was an earthquake until I read that this morning.

^huh?

I'm downtown in a high rise and although we couldn't feel the shaking, our building did sway quite a bit! How bout yours LaffFan?

I didn't know it was an earthquake, i just thought i might have been hung over or something and went back to bed. :lol:

Expect another bigger one as well. Apparently there's strange seismic zone somewhere and could get worse. Full Story- http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080418/sc_livescience/scientistsevenbiggerquakecouldhitmidwest

Yeah that's been there since around the the time pangea split to form North America.

They get earthquakes down there all the time.
Im sure there's going to be "the big one."

The last big earthquake registered more than 7, and rang bells in Boston. Imagine what that would do to St. Louis, Indianapolis, Memphis, and even Chicago!

I'm so pissed that I missed it. I was on my way to Virginia when it happens. Grrr...

I love earthquakes.
