Earthquake in Carbondale, Illinois

Well I should have something nicer to begin my blog with. I usually wake up around 5 am these days. So today around between 4:30 and 5 when I woke up by a feeling of someone rattling my bed I realized that it was an earthquake. It did seem to last for a while. I think probably around 30 seconds. However I been so inured to earthquakes that I didn't mind even getting out of bed. I guess I was amused. I could hear my wooden cabinets making the cracking sound. I hope it didn't cause the damage but it had the intensity of one of the stronger earthquakes I have ever felt.
