Surprisingly enough, I woke up and asked myself the question "Is this an earthquake?" I normally sleep through anything; severe storms, tornadoes, loud parties,etc.
This morning around 4:30, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit New Salem, IL and could be felt as far away as Chicago, Indianapolis, Iowa and Georgia.
I awoke at this time as the bed rocked back and forth in perfect rhythm. I first thought to myself "Is this an earthquake?" I could also hear one of our doors intermittently bang against a wall. I then thought it was Buffy with a nervous twitch in her leg or something that's causing the bed to rock. She then woke up to secure the door and close a window or something (we had the windows open last night). I want to say the bed still moved a little even though she got out of it (isn't the bed suppose to rock when we're both in it? ha).
I asked what she was doing. She claimed she was moving stuff so the wind wouldn't bother it. We were expecting storms last night... which never materialized.
I got up like I normally do, took a shower, fixed my oatmeal and then logged on the Internet. By this time, I've completely forgot about the experience at 4:30 this morning. Then I saw the headline Quake Shakes Parts of Midwest. I knew exactly what happened at 4:30 this morning.
The only other thing to report from last night was my dream of being at a Paul McCartney concert. Paul was sporting a mustache like from the Sgt Pepper album and he was playing his bass right handed (Paul is left handed). I have got to get qualified for the McCartney Liverpool show giveaway on 93.3 The Drive!

Umm, the earthquake was in WEST Salem, IL not New Salem, IL You are about 200 off (depending on which New Salem you were thinking of)
Oops! You're right. Thanks for the correction. That's something spellcheck doesn't pick up.
