We could feel it pretty strongly here in Indiana, apparently about 50 miles or so away from the epicenter. It woke dh and I up and within about 30 seconds we had two frightened kids in bed with us. The last fairly good earthquake I remember around here was back when I was in college and that was a *long* time ago.

Felt it here in Indy too. I'm the only one that woke up and noticed including my dog.
Sounded like a big gust of wind hit the house. Very different from the ones I've experienced on the West Coast.
Cagery - I'm not sure what to say about your timing, but the one liners from that could be in the hundreds. So let me be the first to start - how did you know it wasn't the chilli from last night?  |

You guys have way too much going on for that early in the AM.  I'm just glad to get out early enough for a run without causing too much of a stir.

Felt it up here in Fort Wayne also. My first thought was a train since I live close to some tracks, but it was too much for a train. My second thought was tornado so I headed towards the basement. Then I looked out the window and saw how calm it was outside. What a way to wake up in the morning.  |

| I had a dream our house was being picked up by tornado, so maybe my inner child felt it, nah that was probably DH's morning grab-her. |

You must just be a heavy sleeper.
