Sanity and earthquakes

Something happens to you when your bed starts shaking at 4:35 in the morning...you question your sanity! Are you dreaming or what the heck is going on?

It only took a couple of seconds to realize we were having an EARTHQUAKE this morning. Centered in the metro St. Louis area, we felt it up in western Illinois!

The windows rattled, the bed was shaking, it was still dark out and in my mind, I went tripping back to 1968. I was 7 years old sitting in the back seat of Mom and Dad's Chevy Impala. Mom turns to us girls (my sister, Cathy, cousins Terra and Lori) and said, "Will you girls quit shaking the car!" Our eyes were big when we replied..."We're NOT shaking the car!" The telephone poles outside the car were swaying and my mom said OH NO!
