Earthquake in the Midwest

April 18th, 2008 § 0

I was lying in bed awake due to insomnia very early this morning when I felt the bed shaking. I was kind of groggy, and I thought it must be the cat scratching and making the bed shake. But I realized she’s too small to make the bed shake like that. Then I thought it might be my husband having nightmares. He was sound asleep, not moving at all. It went away, and then started again, and I got up and walked around the bed to see if I could figure out what was happening. I was stumped and got back in bed, and then noticed that it felt like it might be coming from under the bed. In my dazed stupor, I idly wondered if this could possibly be what an earthquake feels like, not thinking for a minute that it really was one.

Woke up to the news of the quake, realized instantly what all that shaking was about.

Never been in an earthquake which I felt before. Glad it was only a mild one.
