Since several have been messaging me asking me if I'm ok after the earthquake, I thought I'd make a post.
 
As you probably know already, Indiana and Illinois had an earthquake this morning.  I live in North East Indiana.  The epicenter was in southern Illinois - about a six hour drive from me.  I didn't notice the original quake, as I was in a vicodin induced sleep. The news says the initial quake registered about a .1 on the richter where I live.  
 
We ARE however, feeling the aftershocks tremble.  Just a few minutes ago I felt one, and that was the third one I had felt.  They're saying on the news that particular aftershock was a 4.5 on the richter.  This whole building shook for about eight seconds. 
 
I've been in earthquakes before. Way back in the 80's when I lived in California.  At least it's just the aftershocks this time. 
 
It's not even scary.  =)  So, we're all fine, and thanks to all of you who have expressed concern.

    Glad you are ok!  I just commented on another post about it, so I won't repeat, but I wanted to read and see what you had to say.  Scary stuff!

    That's weird that you didn't feel the original one, but just the aftershocks! I'm glad everything is okay there though. When the quakes aren't that big or damaging, they are kind of fun actually. Maybe I'm weird?!

    (Look at that....evil twin likes being all shook up.....ha.)  I am terrified of things of nature that I can't control.

    When they are not bad they can be rather interesting and a bit fun, don't you think?

There's some pretty ominus looking clouds floating overhead. It's about 80 dg. I've lived in California all my life. If it gets still and muggy , we most likely will have an earthquake. Of course we have them everyday, but it feels like it's time for a b...
