I'll bet the news services were happy to have exciting news that didn't involve an election or a war! There was a "large" (for the midwest, anyways!) earthquake down in southern Illinois this morning at about 4:36 am. 5.2 so I have read and it could be felt all the way up in Wisconsin down to Georgia. There was minimal obvious damage and no injuries reported but the major cities are still reviewing their infrastructure. I didn't feel it myself, but I have been through a similar occurence about 20 years ago when we had another minor earthquake hit the area. It feels rather strange when you are sitting down on the ground and suddenly the floor moves...very unsettling!
Anyways, quite the way to start a Friday! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....
