Not something I'm used to in my part of the country.

Apparently it was felt as far as here (Lexington, KY) - didn't wake me up, but apparently I'm the only one.

Wow, that's crazy. I remember about 10 years ago we felt one here, one of the strangest experiences ever. :lol:

Interesting that it happened on the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake (5:18 AM).

One of the ladies at my mom's work noticed, she was in bed and the knobs on her dresser were rattling. I didn't feel anything though.

It was only about 50 miles from me. Woke my husband up but I slept through it and didn't even feel any of the aftershocks...:crazy:

I'd panic. I can't even imagine those poor people that are in the huge earthquakes. Just the thought of the ground opening up is terrifying.

I found some cool video of a local newscast that was going on during the quake.

Apparently some people here in NE Ohio felt it, but I didn't.
