it's not our fault

On Friday morning, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake shook the midwest. Though it was centered in southeastern Illinois, it was felt as far west as Kansas.

Well, I did not feel the quake. But it did wake me up--in Kansas. At that time Friday morning, I was awakened by the sound of rattling--not sure if it was a chandelier or barrister bookcase doors or something else, but the rattling seemed to last for a long time. I looked at the clock and fell right back to sleep. Only later in the day, when I read the news, did I realize what it was that caused what I heard.
