This morning, I woke up a 4:30 a.m. my bed was shaking, and the door to my apartment was also shaking. At first, I was scared, that someone was trying to break in but after about a minute the shaking stopped. When I told my attendant that there was an earthquake this morning, he did not believe me. However, I just read on the Internet that a 5.2 earthquake rocked a large region of the Midwest this morning, so as it turns out, I was right!
I've never felt an earthquake before. It was kind of scary! I live in Chicago. Did anyone else feel the earthquake?
