Anyone feel it? I'm a heavy sleeper, so it didn't even startle me...

It didn't wake me up either.

I hear that Rolla is supposed to be in a very good location if we are to have the Big One on the New Madrid fault.

I *think* I was still awake at 4:30... if I wasn't, I was definitely "woken up" at 5:00, but I just figured it was because I went to sleep in a weird position

I was up and felt it... I thought it was my body shaking from lack of sleep.

How much of a shake? I also did not wake up. A girl in class said stuff broke in their house.

It felt a lot like a large person walking across a not completely solid floor.

I think this is exactly why I didn't feel anything. I'm a fairly large person, and my floor is not completely solid. So I have my room set up to handle this pretty damn well. Hurray for being fat!!!
