The Day The Earth Roared (And I Ignored It)
There was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Mount Carmel, Illinois this morning at 4:36 AM. Chrissy heard about it on the morning news when she woke up (video). The epicenter was along the Indiana border, but much farther south than us, closer to Kentucky. CNN said that people as far away as Milwaukee could feel the ground shaking. Apparently, we had slept right through it. Aiden was up earlier than usual, so maybe he noticed it.
I think that we’re just desensitized to light shaking. There are train tracks about a thousand feet from our house, and we can sometimes feel the vibrations when a particularly heavy train goes by. We can’t always hear the trains because we have heavy duty windows, but I can sometimes feel them if I’m watching TV in the bedroom. If I can regularly sleep through that, then I can sleep through an earthquake 300 miles away.
