Earthquake Shook My St Louis Home

"It shook our house where it woke me up," David Behm of Philo, Illinois, told the AP. "Windows were rattling, and you could hear it. The house was shaking inches. For people in central Illinois, this is a big deal. It's not like California."
I'm in St Louis and it was a big deal to me! Here I was, minding my own business, surfing the net at 4:30 in the morning, and all of a sudden the windows started shaking, the lamps started swaying and my dogs went nuts!
I took it as a sign - get off the "dang ol' internet and get thee to bed!"
The USGS said the largest historical earthquake in the region -- magnitude 5.4 -- shook southern Illinois in 1968.
