Did you feel that?!
We that reside in the Midwest recieved the very rare earthquake this morning.

Centered along the Southern Illinios and Indiana border it was felt several hundred miles away.

I awoke when I heard the house shake, than for about 10- 15 seconds I could feel the bed vibrating, kinda' like the old vibrating 1000 finger beds in the travel lodge hotel when I was much younger. (does anybody else remeber these)

Sway, did you feel anything up der by you?
How about you T?
Anybody else in the Midwest Feel it?
Reverend Mike?

Didn't feel anything here in Grand Rapids, though the local news is running with the story like we were the epicenter!

ReverendMike will become famous soon enough
I didn't feel it, but probably because I was sleeping. I did wake up around that time, but can't say it was because of the earthquake.


THE END IS NEAR! REPENT THOU NEST OF VIPERS!




boo!
