Aftershock Facts: In a cluster, the earthquake with the largest magnitude is called the main shock; anything before it is a foreshock and anything after it is an aftershock. A main shock will be redefined as a foreshock if a subsequent event has a larger magnitude

Let's hope the 5.2 stays as the main shock and not foreshock!

My sister and I both live in the Chicago suburbs. She was awakened by the quake. Said it shook her bed, and she knew immediately that it was probably a quake. I, on the other hand, slept right through it (I’m one town over from where she lives). Well, at least if a bigger one hits, and assuming I don’t get creamed by it, I’ll probably stay asleep and thus will remain calm as I will be asleep. Unless of course the quake hits during the day. Then I’ll rock and roll with the rest of the folks.
