Arnold is All Shook Up Print E-mail

 There was a reported earthquake centered in southern Illinois not far from Evansville Indiana this morning.  The quake, measuring about 5.4 (from early reports) shook many houses and businesses in the area.  There are early reports of some windows broken in the Arnold area.

Personally it woke me out of bed, and all four of our kids were in our bedroom within 20 seconds or so of it happening.

This is the one day this week that Debbie and I and our daughter were all up at 4:30 AM. When the quake hit at 4:45 or so, it started like the wind was blowing really, REALLY hard. It last too long for that to be the answer. The rafters in the house were shaking like crazy so I will be checking roofing nails this weekend.

I can safely accuse my teenaged son of sleeping so deeply that he could sleep through an earthquake.

My daughter came out of her room with silver dollar sized eyes during the event.

Yep just felt it. That one will give the kids at school something to talk about... I wonder how many of the younger ones are crying now, though. My ten year old was freaked out by it, mostly because he was rattled awake though, hopefully.

I live in Oakville it woke us up as well.
I felt the 2nd at the old store around 20 after 10:00. They said it was about 4.5

I called my sister who works for State Farm Insurance. I told her I would like to file a claim for myself. It seems I have a very serious case of P.T.E.S.A.D.
