From the national news, it sounds like the Midwest fell into a deep fault line never to be found again---but WE ARE ALL ALIVE AND WELL! There was an earthquake on Friday, April 18, 2008 at 4:36 a.m. in a small town about 20 miles from us called New Salem, Illinois. It measured 5.2 on the Richter scale but there were no major injuries and no deaths. Mollie and I were on her choir trip in Chicago and didn't feel a thing--but woke up to the Today Show warning us that Southern Illinois might not exist as we knew it! James and Max were awakened by the rumbling--(Max barked twice, then promplty hid!) and James went to check on Eliza who slept right through it. We had to adjust two pictures on the wall and the power flickered during one of the aftershocks--but that was the extent of it. This porch roof was the worst damage we saw. Everyone is fine and we do appreciate all the concern!
