I couldn’t believe the Trib headline this morning about a 5.2 magnitude Midwest earthquake centered in southern Illinois. We didn’t feel it at our house. But I’ve heard from someone further out in the burbs that her husband told her to quit shaking the bed.
There was similar rumbling at The Farm.
Here’s Hoosier Outsider’s report:
The quake woke us… 3 of us. [Photo Farmgirl] came downstairs to find out why her bed was shaking. I heard strange noises from the old house, nothing scary. It sounded like the wind was rising in a sudden gust for several seconds… after the first rattling — I really thought we were getting a big blow, then nothing. Haven’t read about it but noticed the headline. [Alto Farmgirl] didn’t stir.
More from the Indy Star about Indiana’s long history of earthquakes…or as Future Farmboy calls them, “earthshakes.”

It shook ifarmertwin’s household. Didn’t shake little ones, but ifarmertwin and husband thought it was something pretty serious. With nothing on the news with in seconds of happening groggy ifarmertwin went back to sleep. Since then we have had another small quake. We’ve been “shaken, but not stirred”.
