I've been feeling a lot of earthquakes lately, most of the time when there are none. My only accurate call since the Big One was on Saturday night when I was standing up and felt a little, tiny shake.
A few minutes ago I felt another shake, and was pretty sure that it was another earthquake. One of the cats went running again, but I wasn't sure if he was running from an earthquake or running from some imagined visitor. If it was a visitor, he might have jumped off something, thus causing the whole house to shake. He's a big cat. The other cat was sitting peacefully in a kitty tree, which suggested that the scardy cat was going nuts.
I checked all of the USGS websites and found nothing, just like the Big One, even though it claimed to have updated after the time of the rumbling. I started checking "real time" seisometers, which really aren't that real time. But I eventually came upon one in Indiana that was only a few minutes back, and it had some nice big squiggly lines on it.
The USGS now is reporting that the earthquake was a 4.2. That is the biggest aftershock, and once again one of the largest earthquakes in Illinois history.
