A whole lot of shaken goin' on
I was just reaching for the door to leave for work this morning.  Yes, I leave at 4:35 am.  I first thought it was a very low flying jet from Scott Air Force base since there was a lot of noise.  Then I thought it may be a thunderstorm and sudden burst of rain as I heard the trees and stuff hitting the roof.  After turning on the outside light to see no rain and hearing things shaking in the kitchen, I finally guessed earthquake.  Hummer yelled from the bedroom, then the dog ran up from the basement.  It was over in about half a minute.  I remember some similar shakes as a small kid rattling the big farmhouse windows.  Then at work around 10:15, I felt an aftershock.  Kinda of like a huge wind gust hitting the building.  Early morning was 5.2 and the latter aftershock was 4.2.  I have not found anything damaged at home but have not looked that well.  Everyone very excited at work.  Most had never experienced an earthquake.
