My sister is in Decatur, Il and she was up when the quake hit. She knew what it was and said the sound came up out of the ground, not down from the sky like a thunderstorm. The glass doors on her fireplace were open and she saw them shaking. They did not have any damage, though. Her husband slept through the quake and did not know anything had happened. I will have to ask her what her cats did. I would have liked to have seen Blackpowder Bill's folks' cat. That would have won some money on America's Funniest Home Videos.
