Yes, we felt the earthquake! If you saw the map on the news, it showed the epicenter being in Gilberts and showed Sycamore and DeKalb. We are between Gilberts and Sycamore. It was enough to wake us out of a sound sleep. Both of us woke up and sat straight up. I thought another train derailed and was heading for the house. It was hard to go back to sleep after that.
We had nothing falling off the walls but we do have a few new cracks in the walls. Our house is so old there is no record of when it was built. There are pictures at the post office that shows the house being here in the 1910's. I doubt it would withstand a strong earthquake. One more reason to move to TX.....like the snow, cold and unemployment rate isn't enough!
