5.2  ... just might wake me up. If I remember right (from high school), there is a big fault line in that area.

I was painting at the hospital tonight and one of the nurses came in at 5:30 saying that there must have been an earthquake cause she lives on the 7th floor of her building and that it was moving around some. We told her she was nuts and must have been a big party in the building that she wasn't invited to. Then half an hour latter it came across the radio that Madison are residents had felt the earthquake. I was painting in the parking ramp stairwell and never felt a thing.

I'm just outside of St. Louis and I felt it very plainly. My wife said it woke her up.

I live about 20 mins from the epicenter. It was pretty scary, and i dont think my wife or dog have slept since. lol. We have been having aftershocks every day since, some as big as 4.6 rating. And yes we do live on a HUGE fault line. They say the biggest earthquake in history will be when our fault (New Madrid) shifts. IM SCARED!! LOL
