Ok... so we had an earthquake in Indiana today. Right now, they are saying it was a 5.4 on the Richter scale. Well, here's a little bit about my experience with this...
First of all, I was afraid it was a ghost shaking my bed!!!!!
I woke up and was all foggy... the bed was shaking and it wouldn't stop shaking... not just a quick "I bumped into the bed shake..." it was more like a "someone's tugging on one of the posts and won't stop shaking the bed" kind of shakes. I looked at Jason's alarm clock (which is easier to see than my own) and it was fuzzy. Was afraid I was having some kind of out of body experience! Haha
But, yes, it woke me up. I shot straight up when I felt It and heard my lamp rattling on top of the nightstand.
I immediately ran around the bed and grabbed the remote to turn on the TV to make sure it was an earthquake, but I figured it was. I was just glad it didn't get worse.
Jason was at the airport. He called about an hour later to make sure I was awake. (I forgot to set my alarms yesterday and got to school at the last second...). He told me they shut the airport down for an hour, so all flights were delayed. They evacuated the tower and everything.
Smokie was acting NUTS yesterday... crying up a storm. It was almost comical because I was imitating her cry... it was non-stop for like 5 minutes yesterday. She finally quit after I kept imitating her. We thought it was because she wanted to go outside, but it might have been her having premonitions. She was at my heels the last couple of nights... last night, I couldn't get her away from me.
So, after it happened, I went to the kitchen to go ahead and get the coffee started and emailed WTHR to let them know I felt it where I was... Smokie was under the couch. She was under there for a long time. When she did come out, she was right at my heels... had to push her away from sneaking into the bedroom to go under the bed.
This morning, on my way in, this lady called in to WZPL and told the DJs her cat was laying on the windowsill behind the blinds. When it happened, the cat got spooked pretty bad and got tangled up in the blinds trying to get down the wall!!!!!!! Poor thing!!
