    I know I woke up with my bed shaking today. I am 23 and it is the first distinct tremor I have ever felt. Pretty strange.

    I was half asleep sitting on the throne for my morning pee when I felt the shakes and the noise of things rattling in the house. I thought that it was high winds, a transformer explosion, or a car had run into the house. I went outside to see a beautiful cloudless sky. I didn’t think earthquake until I heard it on the news.

    I also felt the quake this morning … but my wife didn’t. I’m just glad other people felt it so I know I didn’t imagine it.

    I woke up to my bed shaking and could feel the building moving. I thought I must have made the right decision to move. I thought the foundation was collapsing. So relieved to know it was indeed an earthquake.

    does anyone know how strong of a earthquake or how long of one. It seemed to be at least 30 seconds. My husband didn’t belive thats what it was until the news verified it.(I am right again !!)

    I thought my house was falling down or something. It was quite startling.

    I was getting up when my mom felt it happen. For some reason, not many people at my school felt. Did it only affect certain people?

    Glad to have confirmation. I thought I was going nuts. My daughter didn’t feel anything at her house & she’s less than a mile from mine. I called her & then posted to Facebook asking if anyone else’s house shook @ 12:10 today. No one had. My whole bed & bedroom were shaking. And I live in Cheviot, OH. That’s pretty far from Hazard, KY!
