I don't have any Jill. Truman couldn't get the camera quick enough to video my chair vibrating. I though maybe he bought me a massage recliner and I didn't know it.

Grandma lives in Brentwood and it scared her to death..She said it made few of her knick nacks fall off one her shelves..

I thought something woke me up early this morning, right around 4:40am. I guess it wasn't shaking long enough for me to realize what had woke me, but then when I got up at 6:00, it was on the news. I don't know if anyone else here felt anything, though. My hubby and kids (and not to mention lazy dogs)slept right through it.

Whats shaking St Louis!!! We can't get no rest anymore - floods - winds - now this? I am 48 and I remember the one in 1968,, my mom and I had went to a neighborhood store and was walking home when everyone came running out of their houses and said we are having an earthquake. Outside it wasn't that bad, but if you were in a house with things falling off the walls -then it was bad.. This morning wroke my husband up and he never gets up for anything.. I thought it was my son home from college that had maybe snuck in some friends over and was having a party while we were sleeping - I shot out of the room - to find him asleep in his - no one else was in the house.. We sleep with a fan on - so the sound was distored - so I told my husband are room was haunted and we both went back to sleep.. He was getting ready for work we he found out it had been an earthquake.. I also felt the one at 10:15 it jerked the house pretty hard - we live in Olivette - I wonder how this has affected the contruction on 40? Oh well - We should all invest in tents and camping gear. It is easier and cheaper then rebuilding a house..
My lazy dog and cat slept thru it also.. He only got up thinking it was time to get feed and go out..
LOL

Cutey,
When I switched insurance companies, they had added earthquake insurance to my policy. It is only $10.00 more a year. I call that a bargain.
