Earthquake
I felt it this morning, and realized it was probably an earthquake. The house shook gently for maybe 30 seconds. (It felt gentle at least.) The windows rattled a little.
There's a train track near our house, and it felt as though we were close to a passing train, but there was no train horn, no train noise. No train.
I thought briefly about what to do if it got worse, but assumed it wouldn't. (I don't know why.)
The USGS calls it magnitude 4.5, but others put it at 5.2 or even 5.4.
Update: Here's the only link not expired as of 2/10/2010: Magnitude 5.4 Illinois.

We had an earthquake here in Okinawa a few months back and it was the same feeling you would get if standing in Kirsten's old office on Foster and a Large truck went by.
My reaction. "An earthquake, that's cool." One of the new RP's (assistant and body guard for the Chaplain) was like "What was that (explicitive)? The ground's not s'posed to (explicitive) move!!!"
