Just before 11:00 pm tonight I noticed that my chair was beginning to shake. I could hear dishes rattling in the other room. I looked around and I saw a plant and a lamp on a table across the room shaking. For a split second I was scared to death. Then I realized I had experienced my first earthquake!
Then I became excited. The last earthquake that I remember some people feeling in this area was in April 2008. I believe the epicenter was in Illinois somewhere. I didn't feel it, but our daughter did. I was nine months pregnant and right after the earthquake she decided to do a flip and went into a breach position. Her doing a 180 in my stomach was quite an experience too!
With today's technology and instant news, I was able to find information on the quake right away:

The earthquake was centered only 39 miles away from the football game played between Kansas State and Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Ok.
Here's a video of the earthquake from ESPN. Watch as Kirk Herbstreit's eyes nearly pop out of his head.
