Actually, I was sitting in my recliner when it started rocking and rolling about 2 weeks ago. I live in a western suburb of Chicago very near to Hinsdale (Downers Grove). It’s a creepy feeling, as the recliner, with me upon it, started undulating, kind of a small roll, back and forth, and lasted for about 5 seconds, in my estimation. I knew in my bones that it was probaby an earthquake, as many years ago, the same phenomenon happened when I was living in Champaign-Urbana in the middle of the state of IL where UIUC is located. It was the that same rocking feeling I experienced as when it happened in Champaign-Urbana.

When they said it was a quarry blast that caused it, I was very skeptical, as that has never happened before where a blast caused ground upheaval, and the quarry isn’t that close to me, plus it was too widespread to be caused by a blast. Quite the experience on an otherwise dull day.
