Question Earthquake

Anyone else feel that?

I was sleeping, but apparently here in Chicago it was really pronounced. Was all over the news and people were kinda freaking out. In St. Louis concrete was falling from bridges and all. Crazy. Anyone else?

Re: Earthquake

It was only a 5.2, but I'm surprised that it was as bad as it was up here. I'm waiting for aftershocks but probably won't be bad though. My bro said it was pretty bad.

Nope, if it was there I would have for sure woke up, cause that's like Chicago.
It was right on the IL/Kentucky border. West Salem is the town. I drove right by it when I went to SC the other week.
