I slept right through it but apparently last night there was a whole lotta shaking going on down state! We got a bit of an earthquake in the early morning hours waaay down in Salem, but it was felt all over Illinois, Indiana, etc. I guess we’re still having aftershocks as well too. I’m sure for folks from California this is not a big deal but well we’re not used to them here. Besides I worry about the New Madrid fault, a sleeping giant of building-crushing destructive potential.


Here’s some video clips on the quake today, including the last one where newscasters broke text due to the shakes occurring mid-broadcast.
