Earthquake in the mid-west

[S and S 12]

Did any of you other MENA members get woken up by the earthquake this morning? I didn't think we got them here, but I guess I was proved wrong. It really bothered my husband when I told him. As if he doesn't already worry about the tornadoes. It wasn't a big one, but this was my first one even though I lived in California for a couple years.

Yes. I live in Indiana and was woken up at 5:37 this morning. I had no idea what was occurring even though I had experienced an earthquake in California. It just never occurred to me that it WAS an earthquake here in Indiana.

Anyhow, it was definitely the topic of the morning at work.

I talked with my friend today and he said his bedroom closet door handle was moving and it woke him up. He thought someone was in the closet (he lives alone) so he stared at the door for a few and decided to open it. Before he actually touched the handle, he said he thought about movies at the cinema in which the audience is shouting NO, DON'T OPEN IT!!! so he grabbed something to defend himself. He opened the door, but no one was there. He said he laughed so hard at himself. I couldn't help but to chuckle too.

Though I live 350 miles from where the earthquake occurred, we over here still felt it and it gave us something to laugh about today as we all shared our reactions to it.

No but two days ago I dreamed there was an earthquake. It wasn't big but it was scary enough to shake the place. I also remember it was present day and I was confused because I didn't understand why it was happening where I was and I hadn't moved to LA as of yet.

I thought my bed was possesed at first, lol. Glad I didn't do what your friend did with the door though.

I'm glad I was not the only one who thought my bed was possesed! The first thing I thought about was The Exorcist movie.

i was being intimate with my wife..... she told me the earth was moving, and i thought i was on top of the world!!!!!

until i realized the earth was actually moving!!!

hahahaha

i felt it and woke up. But after working in indonesia after the tsunami.. it was a baby nudge.

p.s. you ask what "other MENA" members experienced this. Why restrict the question to this group??

We had a whole thread about this in the Off topic yesterday. Lots of us felt it out here.

I rarely write in the other forums so it didn't occur to me to include any other group. Of course anyone else is welcome to comment.
