    Anyone feel that shit? I am on the top floor of an 8 story building and woke up around 430 am like someone was trying to wake me up. Bed shaking a bit, I thought I was going crazy. It was extremely mild, but I still felt it.

    I always think I'm going nuts whenever I feel a minor earthquake as well. Or it's just my giant tree outside hitting my room...

    Glad you are OK buddy. Lose any ceramics or glassware sitting perilously close to table or shelf edges?

    ha... I was just at the coffee shop and this girl was talking about how she's a deep sleeper... I was like, what did you miss something? She said something about the earthquake... I was like, oh, that was real? I though that was a dream or a result of drinking. but yeah, woke me up

    yeah i felt it. it woke me up out of bed. i thought the wife was shaking the bed trying to wake me up, but when i sat up she was sound asleep. something fell from a shelf in my living room and there was a consistent rattle from something in the utility closet. it took me a few seconds to realize i wasn't dreaming and it was an earthquake. by the time i realized and tried to wake the wife it was over. the whole time the cat was lounging on the bed like nothing was going on. aren't they supposed to warn you about shit like that?... like 'meow meow hey man... shits about to go down' or something?

    • You're confusing cats with something useful.– blaw1/4
      cats don't give a shit, get a dog– Daro2/4
      HAHA!– kona3/4
      the first haha was to blaw. that was pretty good man. lol at daro too.– kona4/4

    I live about a half hour east of Kansas City and felt no quake - but read that people a 100 miles west of me reported feeling it.

    • something like 23 states have reported feeling the quake– bulletfactory

    We slept right through it, though just about everyone we know woke up in a panic. I have a co-worker who lives in Illinois, she was fairly close to the epicenter.

    My wife is pregnant and sleeps like the dead these days...and I have always gone into a deep coma every night. Bummer I missed it!
