>It managed to get my attention in Chicago's south suburbs, about 250 miles north of the epicenter, and most reports seem to be from cities NW/north/NE of the quake. Anybody in Memphis feel it?
I didn't feel a thing, but was sleeping soundly. I asked my older daughter, who wakes up when a cricket hiccups in the back yard, and she didn't feel anything, either.
Maybe we should move to California or someplace to get away from the quakes ;-)
