Hey Vicki... Did you feel this?

I was awake off and on at that time since that is when Curt is getting ready for work usually. He was out snowblowing the drive this morning at that time however and didn't feel anything. Of course he was using a very large snowblower so that makes sense. I do remember waking up though thinking it was awfully early to be hearing/feeling the snowplows rumble past our house but they didn't. I don't hear our snowblower in our bedroom either as the drive is the opposite side of the house so it must've been the earthquake that woke me. It wasn't like I KNEW that's what it was however just that I remember waking up.

I can't believe so many say they felt this thing from so far away from here considering it was less than an hour from our house where the epicenter was and we didn't really realize what happened at all other than an OH THAT is what that was type comment later once we turned the news on.

Curt is home again today because the interstate was closed last night after a tanker truck flipped blocking two lanes. He found after driving about 25 minutes from here this morning on his way to work that they still had the interstate closed because of that accident last night.
