Daughter called me, early and said...geez quake in Chicago?? Mirror was raddling around on the wall and she was up on the 3rd floor. Not that you get those very often, as long as it doesn't last very long and is too violent, kinda neat! Now if you lived in LALA land, grab your sneekers and flashlight and run don't walk to the street.

Maybe it was the locks closing to keep the carp from getting into the great lakes????

Pretty cool that it happened in my town, pretty cool to experience it... Glad there were no injuries or damage. Channel 7 was there this morning.

I live right in Sycamore and it woke my family up with rattling of the windows. This is the second one that I have experienced in the last 2 years whats really something is that it seems that the animals knew minutes before it happened.

I now hear the center was at the intersection of Randall and Big Timber, the location of the new Sherman Hospital. Anyone else heard this? It is still a 3.8 magnitude earthquake.

Well, with that info Nash, the center seems to be getting closer to me in Sugar Grove. We live near the Aurora Airport and I would have sworn that we got hit by plane. The explosion that we first heard and the house moving afterwards was unexplainable. It felt like the house was progressively collapsing towards us from other rooms. It was very disturbing and powerful. If this was around 4.0 I can not even image a 6.0+
