Shook our house enough to wake me up too. And we're 150 miles North of Indianapolis.
I didn't wake up during it but I did right when it ended. Mainly cus my dog was a little startled. I couldn't go back to sleep so I jumped on the internet and waited for thr 5:00am news to start.
We had an earthquake? Actually, I slept right through it, until the flow flow alarm went off at a commercial building in town because of the water pressure fluxuation in the pipes. According the city water pressure data logger, there was a 15# spike during the event.

Awesome email alert system WFD - I just found it earlier today after it was mentioned on local news.
Like MoJ, I couldn't find anything on local, national, CNN or anything. I even checked the emergency alert weather radio (though I didn't actually expect a report).
Turns out, Mud is your first source for news.
Sadly, I was up since 3am due to the dang rotator cuff shoulder pain. I'm bummed, I was doing so well (no pain meds since day 5 post-op) and now at nearly 4 weeks out, a sudden return of sharp and continual pain.
I guess on the bright side, I was awake and alert for my first quake!
