Stuff was shaking here in Godfrey Illinois. The bikes didnt tip over at least. I'll check for any damage when I get home from work tonight.

Just read an article where the last 5+ earthquake in the midwest was around 1968 and before that it was 1890 something. So yeah, it's a big deal here. I bet California doesn't get tornadoes, do they? Those aren't a huge deal here, but you guys would freak out. That's how it works.
Anyway, I got home from work at 3:30am (we had something big going on last night) and I woke up around 4:30 with my house shaking like a ****. Stuff was rattling like crazy and it was freaky.

RE: 5.2 Earthquake
I live up in the Joliet, Shorewood, Plainfield area which is south of Chicago and a half hour from Indiana. I didn't notice anything, but I was wondering how far north people felt it. I have friends in Carbondale and they felt it. Long as the scoots aren't hurt no big deal. Just kidding I hope no one had property damage. I saw some awnings on roofs fell at some homes.

The folks in Kansas, Oklahoma, and such really have it tough with the twisters. As for earthquakes, I've only felt a small tremor once while living in the L.A. area. Strange feeling, for sure.

We get tornadoes regularly down here, and some folks still pretty much freak out.[8D]Can't blame anybody for that though, considering the damage they do in the blink of an eye. At least they're small-ish, and they do create construction work. The folks in Kansas, Oklahoma, and such really have it tough with the twisters.

We call em Microbursts. Lotsa wind, sounds like a 747 landing in your back yard, neighbors car gets parked on your roof, stuff like that. Thats ok, I needed a new roof anyway

We all have our potential natural disasters. I've never felt an earthquake but have way more experience with hurricanes and tornados than I care to.
