Now I remember what I meant to say this morning....

OK
Last night, I could swear that East Moline had an earthquake. No joke. 11:10 to be exact. Of course, my rents think I'm crazy, but last night was insane.

First of all, my dog started going crazy. I could hear the sound of her nails on our kitchen floor. Animals are the first to detect an earthquake.

Then, it felt as if someone was under my bed shaking it. At first, I was creeped out until I formulated my earthquake theory.

After the shake I heard both of my parents get up and go downstairs. I could hear them both mumbling about "checking something." They said this morning that they were checking the thermostat.

I even checked the paper this morning. I expected it to say

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES QUAD CITIES
No injuries reported

but it didn't. Oh well. I'm still alive if you're wondering about the outcome of my tradegy.

Until the earth shakes....
