I must say that was a first for me. I was unable to sleep tonight and was watching TV in bed when all of a sudden the bed was shaking slightly. I was about to write it off when I noticed the cat pole that I have set up nearby that goes floor to ceiling was also shaking. It lasted only like 10 to 20 seconds but it was just strange. I went online to the US Geological Survey site and found that there was indeed an earthquake in the mid-west tonight.

I have never felt an earthquake before. It was defiantly a different experience. Mind you it was very slight all the way up here in Michigan but still was a strange experience. I reported my experience on the USGS site.
I guess we'll see what the news says in the morning. Might have to call the folks as they live in Illinois where the quake occurred. (Although they live in northern IL and the quake was centered in southern IL so hopefully it wasn't as big where they were)
Well have a good night!
