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?

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 quakebulletfactory

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!
