Louisiana1976's Journal

I awoke a little before 5AM this morning feeling unusually shaky. I was lying on my back, half asleep so I wasn't certain if this shaking was from within me or from outside. Having been having my health issues including sometimes feeling lethargic and/or light-headed lately, I was worried. Then I rolled over on my side and the disturbing sensation passed. After that I turned on one of the early morning news shows. There was a breaking news bulletin that an earthquake had hit Illinois! Imagine my relief to realize that that had been the shaky feeling I'd had--it wasn't just me! The quake was 5.2 on the Richter Scale and was felt as far away as Georgia.
