earthquake!!!!

OMG, My house was shaking so bad. I was in bed and the kids came running screeming to me. I was listening to the news and it was a 5.4 and it happened just southwest of my town. Adn did anyone else hear the sound of it? It was weird! I didn't know that earthquakes made sounds. It last for a while too.

I was out like a light.  I had the windows open for the first time last night and slept better than I have in months.  I was a bit aggrivated at my dog for waking me at 5:45 to go out.  HMMM, maybe she knew something.  Anyway, never felt a thing. 

Oh yeah....we felt it and heard it....twice!  I wasn't sure what it was at first.  I had the windows open and first thought there was a storm because things started falling off the walls and shelves.  Then Troy woke up and shot out of bed screaming "Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!"  I acted all cool and said it's just the wind and Troy said to look out the window....there was no wind.  It was still going on though.  I can't believe how long it lasted!  Our daughter came running in screaming and said, "I think it's an earthquake!"  I hadn't even thought of an earthquake until she said that.  We settled down in the living room and an after shock started almost immediately.  The dishes in my china cabinet were rattling.  Troy went over to it and put his hand on it.  The after shock didn't last as long but it was longer than I would've expected.  I turned on the tv and they were reporting an earthquake.  Troy went ahead and got ready for work and our daughter and I went to lay down in my bed.  I asked her how she knew it was an earthquake and she said Jack and Annie went through one in one of her "Magic Treehouse" books.  She's such a smart kid!  We did a quick assessment of the house and it doesn't look like there's any damage.  Chimney is fine.  Gas line is fine.  Just had one thing break that fell off a shelf.  Makes for an interesting story anyway.  It was only 4:35 when it happened so I know we're all going to be sleepy tonight! Julie (Jules) called me to make sure we were alright.  It sure made me feel good knowing someone was concerned about us.  What good buddies I have here. Smooches, jacqui

 

I heard about the quake on the news but haven't heard anything great so far~just that there was one. I am soooo glad that so far all of my Hoosier family is doing fine and nothing major. You guys were the first ones I thought of. I never felt a thing but then I am way up North so that may be why. I guess it hit in 4 or 5 states. Glad so far so good.

OMG!!!!!  I didn't feel anything...but it was weird...my legs were KILLING ME...and I woke up about 5:40 and went to potty and then no more hurt....Mark turned on the TV cause his time to get up for work and we saw about the Earthquake! EGADS!!!!!!!! my first thought was OMG I know people down there! I was worried about y'all...but I didn't call because thought y'all would be freakin' and wondering what had happened! I am soooooooo glad y'all are ok! AMEN...thank ya God! But it is weird about my legs...Mark thought maybe the pressure had something to do with it and then after the quake the pressure dropped...kinda like change of weather and the pains come....LOL huggggggggggs to y'all and take care! Janene

I think you might be right, Janene about the pressure. I think that you should think about becoming a weather person. You seem to know more than they do!!!    I am sending big hugs and lots of love to you girlfriend. 

I Felt it. My bed moved, pictures moved. I was thinking OH NO the ugly tree fell, or not another drunk driver went though our house again, Yelled for d & sl They thought it wild too!!!! turned on news, then we knew. love ya, Hugs & Blessings,Gail

We're up in Kokomo, and I was freaked out.  After the sonic boom of Wednesday night, I couldn't imagine what in the world was happening! Hubby and I were both sound asleep, and it woke us up right away.  Our whole house shook, doors were rattling, and windows rattled...kids slept right through it.  I figured you southern Hoosier Losers would definitely feel it even more than we did way up here.  Unreal!

It was something fierce here and scary. Woke us up. My SIL said they evacuated the dorms at VU. Scary stuff.

I slept through it...imagine that! Our whole house did! Having a new baby has exhausted all of us so we grab sleep when we can and it was embraced with alot of enthusiasm last night. We also slept with the windows open in our room and that just makes me sleep deeper! So now my kids are right when they say I could sleep through an earthquake.
