Did you feel the earthquake this morning?

I am in Webster Groves and was awakened around 4:40am by what felt like an earthquake. It went on for approximately 30-40 seconds.

JUST IN: Preliminary reports indicate that it was located 127 miles East of St Louis, 5.4 at 4:36.

Where were you when it hit? Post your location and experience below!

We felt it in O'Fallon, MO. Shook things hard enough to wake us up and knew that it was an earthquake for sure!!

I am in Brentwood. Was already up getting my cup of java. Didn't need it afterall, the rattling woke me up real fast.
Haven't felt one in a long time. Really don't want to experience one again.

I was very surprised my dog didn't wake up and start barking. I also heard what I thought were raindrops, but now am guessing it was debris being shaken from the trees. It was very sharp. No damage that I can see here from my first cursory check.

Chunks of concrete are reported at Kingshighway and Vandeventer.

My kids felt the earthquake. I slept right through it. They said the room was swaying back and forth and the ceiling was bowing.
