Tremors in Chicago

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Tremors Movie Poster Um… Yeah… So early this morning, around 4-5am, I woke up feeling nausious, sick to my stomach, my hold body shaking. I thought it was me, symptoms of insomnia I’ve felt in the past.

Nope. Turns out an earthquake, 2nd largest in midwest history, struck downstate Illinois and the tremors spread up to Chicago. The tremors were even felt in southern Ontario, Canada.

Anyone else in the Chicagoland feel the tremors this morning?
