    Sorry to get off topic: very shortly after 4am this morning I was awake and felt one significant initual shock wave, then the whole house shook for 15-30 seconds. On twitter, someone reported that the earthquake was at 4.3 magnitude, and 48 miles away from Chicago, but they did not report which direction that was. I saw reports online twittered from users in Aurora, Arlington Heights, Elgin, Rockford, Chicago, etc. One twitter user said it woke up their whole family.
