good grief!

i woke up at 4:30am and couldnt figure out why i was awake, so i fell back asleep again... turns out i caught the tail end of a 5.2 magnitude midwestern earthquake! only minor damage was seen close to the point of origin - nothing in the city (although our kitchen faucet is now being really funny - i blame nature entirely). occasionally i remember that there's a fault line in southern il and it can be freaky to think that the ONLY natural disaster that cannot occur in chicago is a hurricane. yikes.
