Earthquake Illionois

I felt my building moving in Iowa City at 4:45 AM and woke up. I saw and heard the big lamp rocking hitting against the wall. So I got up and looked online and was surprised to find that it was the tremors of an earthquake that I was experiencing, not a bad dream!

The epicenter was in Illinois and the magnitude was 5.4 on the Richter scale.
