I woke up at that time, but i could not figure out why. I'm about 320 miles away in S.E. MI. The morning News said there where several reports of people calling it in.

It woke me up in Northern Indiana... the whole house was shaking.... I was like WTF??? then I fell back asleep and woke up this morning trying to figure out if I was dreaming or what... luckily the news confirmed that I wasn't crazy.


Talked to my Dad in NW Ohio... they didn't feel it really, but it rattled a fireplace door and that noise woke them up.

Well i live here in Southern Illinois an i was woken up by my whole house shaking lol. It was one of those things where you wake up and it takes you a second to actually realize what is going on. No damage here just a lot of stuff fell off my dresser and that sort of stuff. It was a pretty wicked feel i have to say to be walking with your house moving around you.
