Wow my first earthquake!! I thought there was a huge snowplow in the parking lot behind my house or I was having a bad dream or something!! Then I was so sleepy I didn't even remember it until someone said there was an earthquake. I have never been in an earthquake. I started thinking about it and it was a little scary with all that has gone one in Haiti recently. Just another reminder that we are not in control!
(CNN) -- An early morning earthquake rattled northern Illinois on Wednesday, shaking an area about 50 miles west-northwest of downtown Chicago, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake was originally reported as having a magnitude of 4.3, but the USGS later downgraded it to magnitude 3.8. It hit just before 4 a.m. CT (5 a.m. ET), with an epicenter about 3 miles underground. The USGS pinpointed the quake between the towns of Virgil and Sycamore, Illinois.
