earthquake

It's pretty far-reaching. It was a 5.2, which in the Midwest with our topography, can be felt far from the epicenter. It shook us up pretty good, literally. Woke us all up, made the dog bark like crazy, house was moving...the real deal! (Well, for not being in California. ) Jenay, Louisville really felt it, too. Already saw some news coverage showing some damage in L'ville.

Whoa!! Glad y'all are OK Pea!

OH my gosh, it shook me out of bed. I actually thought it was a tornado. The windows were rattling, the picture frames were shaking and books falling over in the shelves. So I hop up and like a fool rush to the basememt because I'm sure it's the wind causing the house to shake. (So smart, the earth is shaking lets all go underground. ) I was halfway to the basement when I looked outside and saw no evidence of stormy weather. I heard some buildings in downtown lost some bricks and a water line ruptured.

It was SCARY stuff. I hope everyone else is OK.

Lynne, glad you're safe and sound! I thought it was the weather, too--thought it was a windstorm at first with all the rattling that woke me.

And here I was trying to avoid using the phrase, "the bed was shaking like crazy."

Lynne- great report from the scene!!!

I'm glad you are OK too!

You wild thing you!

Did it scare your kids or did they sleep through it? I thought of Audie and Mermy's daughter too. They must have felt it like we did.

I should have gotten out with my camera and shown how my trash can had fallen over, CNN here I come.

All the boys woke up, Girl Pea slept through it, though she was the only one upstairs at the time. Freaked out #1, though, he woke up and yelled, "What is happening?" Made me think of "Close Encounters." (Sorry, bud.)

Thank goodness you didn't lose your sense of humor. I thought of you all the way into the office this morning. Sowal has given me so many more people to worry about.

Those are scary. We've had then in NY. Glad everyone is safe.

They show it was felt as far down as Memphis and North Mississippi but I felt nothing. I did wake up at 5:00 a.m. but didn't notice anything. I went back to sleep. What time actually was the earthquake? Our local news was talking about it and showed the damage in Louisville to a building, all the brick were laying on the ground.

I have been in one earthquake in Knoxville when I was young and one occurred in the middle of the night that was a 4.7 and it rattled the windows and shook the house and rumbled, shook our beds even. Glad everyone is ok that was closer to the actual epicenter.

Wondering if anyone else here in Memphis felt anything??? I have been so sleep deprived the past couple of nights I don't think a bomb would have woke me up.

My whole family slept through it! I wish I would have been awake

I thought dogs were suppose to sense these things, but mine was still asleep at 6:00 when I always have to shake him awake to go outside. Sometimes that dog is worse to get up than my kids.

...I elect cheering as our woman on the streets. ...uh oh...that didn't come out right. Glad everyone is a-okay! Mermy felt that earthquake last night at B&A's...fell right over and banged her head on a barstool. Actually, she was laughing too hard.

Poor Mermy

My son lives in Clarksville, Tn which is right at the Kentucky line and he was at work this morning when the earthquake hit and he says he was in the breakroom eating and he felt the shaking from it but out in the store on the floor no one felt it. But he says a nearby Walgreens had stuff falling off of their shelves.

The Kitty comes up with the good one again.

Kish, did you feel it too? The earthquake..

OK!!!! I felt that one!!! It just did it again!!! I'm in an old warehouse building that mortar falls from the bricks if someone up stairs walks too heavy!!! that was freaky!!

I guess that was an after shock? I didn't like it.

People at work felt it but I slept right through it. I did have a weird dream that my wife was shaking me-by the throat. That in itself is not all that unusal.:funn:I guess now it is time to go to the grocery store and buy up all of the bottled water, milk, bread and funyuns & wait out the aftershocks.
