Earthquake

Well, I got up early today. There was an earthquake about 130 miles away from me. Funny thing is I'm in St. Louis. The quake was in IL though. It was a 5.2 at 4:30 in the morning. I stayed up and went to work early to work on some math. Finally the aftershock came at 10:15. They say the main quake was about a 4 at my house. Funny, that was what I estimated right after it happened. It was strange, because I hadn't felt one since we moved here, 20 years or so ago, but I still knew what it was right away. I guess all that duck and cover training when I was a kid stuck with me, though I didn't bother to get up because it wasn't that bad.

Anyway, an earthquake in St. Louis is worth mentioning, so there, I mentioned it.
