Shake, Rattle and Roll

I suppose you have all heard that there was an earthquake Friday and it was felt here in the Quad Cities. If I remember right it hit like at 4:40 a.m. It was a 5.2 and centered some where in southern Illinois. We were all sleeping and never felt a thing. Never knew anything happened until I got to work and people in the office were saying "Happy Earthquake Day". Well then about an hour later we felt an aftershock in the office. At first I thought it was me because I wasn't feeling good and thought I was weaving, until I realized not only was the computer shaking, the wall moving and a sound like people were running in the hall and shaking the building, then it clicked in my head that we were having an earthquake (aftershock). It lasted what I thought was a long time, like 45 seconds. I felt one other slight little one later, but nothing after that. One one girls in the office said that we are on four fault lines and are the second most dangerous sight for earthquakes, obviously California is number one. She says that we usually have 200 + earthquake a year in this area that we never feel. How does she know so much? Well, in 1988 she was living in California when the BIG one hit and collapsed bridges, disrupted the world series, etc. So she kind of keeps up on that stuff now. When I came home the birds were very loud, squaking and schrilling, no pleasant little chirping. It was like you could here the panic. So after an exciting day and an exhausting week I went scrapbooking with my friend Twyla.
