So it's kind of ridiculous but yesterday in the middle of central Illinois, an earthquake hit. Yes. Central Illinois. I found out today that there's apparently some fault line down in Southern Illinois and hence the tectonic activity and hence the earthquake.

It was DAMN exciting. I woke up thinking I was dreaming, only to feel the wall shaking along with my bed. Difficult to make sense of though, because I kept thinking I was in the middle of America and Earthquakes can't emerge in the middle of a plate. (so apparently i was wrong)

But yes! Experience an earthquake.. Check!

Next up, a tornado, that ll be sweeeeeeeeet.
