It's the BIG ONE Martha!!!

Déjà Vu! Ok, technically that's not the correct term since it means the sensation of experiencing something again, but it's actually the first time. But here's the story:

About 20 minutes 'till one a.m. I was shaken awake. Hmm... seems like that just happened to me recently. Anyway, this one wasn't as forceful or as long as the one that hit early Friday Morning. It did wake up my son though, who slept through the first one. Go figure. He came in my room with wide eyes and said "Do you feel that?" I said "Yep. Feels like another earthquake. It's ok, you can go back to bed." He told me goodnight and went back to his room.

I checked the internet this morning to see if there was anything about it on the news. Buried under some other headlines I found this:

Magnatude-4.5 aftershock reported from Midwest earthquake

It looks like there have been a total of 18 of these since Friday. Weird. It makes me wonder if the Earth is trying to warn us that the big one's a comin'! I know very little about earthquakes so I am by no means an authority. This is just my completely uninformed and doomsday-ish theory. :0p

The Earth Woke Me Up This Morning.

At around 4:30. I wasn't really ready to get up that early. Apparently our bored planet had other ideas.

5.4 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Illinois

Thankfully we didn't have any damage. Some areas in the state and in Kentucky weren't so lucky.

It was an interesting way to greet the day. I don't think I've ever been shaken awake like that before.
