| I was awakened by some shaking early this morning. Bed and dresser were shaking and it sounded like someone was running around on the roof (which is way too angled to be running around on). Scared the crap out of the wife and myself. I've never felt an earthquake before. I thought maybe a tornado was coming through. We ran through the house, turned on all the lights and looked outside. Then, went back to sleep. It ended up being a 5.2 or something. We just had another quake/aftershock about 10 minutes ago... 4.6. Crazy.  |

I haven't noticed any yet. But, we have a horizontal crack in our foundation. I hope it didn't get worse - I haven't checked it yet. |

I'm in Eathquake country..........wtf is going on with an effin' quake in Illinois?  |

I probably could. We signed paperwork when we bought the house that it didn't have an structural foundation issues. But, the home inspector listed it in his report. Hmmm... have to think about that. I could say that the crack was there, but was made worse by the quake. |
