Did anyone feel the earthquake last night?

I felt it in Dayton, it was enough to wake me up and feel a definite shaking.  I had not clue what it was, and it stopped about four or five seconds after I became awake enough to realize it was happening.  I thought I was going crazy, but it turns out it was actually an earthquake.  Being on the fourth floor of an apartment building might have made it more noticable, I don't know though. So anyways, I've been up since 5:45 this morning...  (This will probably be a very rambling post.)

We could be in for some interesting times just around the corner folks, read the history of this fault line here:

(Specifically about 1811-1812, four earthquakes over 7.0 in magnitude in two months.)

You were just having a wet dream, go back to sleep.

I didn't feel anything.
And if that New Madrid fault does have a significant eruption again, we're all doomed...

It woke me this morning and startled my wife.  I thought either the foundation was failing (live next to a lake) or it was an earthquake.  We just had a nice little after shock 20 mins ago. 

I slept through it, but it was more than a tremor. 5.3 on the Richter Scale is sort of large for this region.

Meh, I must have slept through it too.  Looks like it was centered in Illinois.  It probably was reduced to few light rumbles by the time it got to cincy.

I slept through it, although I had just gone to bed.

The New Madrid fault has become all the rage recently.
You would swear it was like people had just discovered it.

I don't hear much about New Madrid, personally. Might be because it will be terrible times when New Madrid Ruptures.
