AP: A 5.4 earthquake in Illinois has rocked people awake as far away as Indiana, surprising residents unaccustomed to such a large temblor in the Midwest.
The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered 6 miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind.
I said "Poltergeist" to my girlfriend in Madison (south-central Wisconsin).
The entertainment centers were making noise for one minute straight, so I figured it was just a storm.
But we were both awakened, around 4:30 AM, too sleepy to really care about the wind, we thought. But there was something weird.
An earthquake in Wisconsin strong enough to wake us up. That was weird.
