I felt the earth move!
Really! I was in bed, about 4:40 a.m. It felt like I was in one of those vibrator beds. It lasted about 30 seconds. I knew what it was instantly.
I’m in Davenport, Iowa, along the Mississippi, quite a way from the epicenter in West Salem, Illinois.
Did you feel it? What did you think?

Hi, Jean–
I’m on assignment in Chicago, and I felt it on the 20th floor of my hotel room. Weird feeling.

No kidding, Tom. I hear that it was felt as far away as Georgia. I wonder what they thought was going on.
