5.2

There is nothing like being awaken at 5:40 am by what later turns out to be an earthquake in Illinois! I thought our house was going to collapse!
Our bed was shaking (which didn't wake me up because Dallas runs in her sleep), the open bedroom doors were banging against the backstops, and Jon's dresser was shaking (those noises are what got our attention). What a fun start to our Friday. It was almost 2 hours later before I finally saw the news coverage on TV.
