Yea, I had the TV on and the bedroom door started rattling and the house shuttered for 10-15 seconds. Even my wife woke up which is a miracle. She sleeps through everything. Everyone has been talking about how their pets sensed something before the quake started. Our 2 watchdogs never lifted their heads even after I got up to check what was going on.

Yeah, I felt it here at Fort Knox (40 miles south of Louisville). Shook the bed pretty good.
I don't know if it was just a coincidence, but our dog starting barking out the window and going nuts. When we looked out, there was a huge herd of deer hauling butt out of the field beside our house. Quake hit seconds afterwards.

Woke me up, this morning. My wife looked at me like it was my fault. I was on the second floor at work during the aftershock later in the morning and watched my monitor do the jig.
I think I prefer floods and tornadoes.

'Bout time you folks on the other side of the country got a little "shake"!!!! 5.4 isn't too bad... But it definitely grabs your attention. We haven't had a good one for a few years, but over on the West Coast, it's only a matter of time before another one hits. The day we get the rumored "big one" will be a very bad day....
So.....welcome to the "Shake and Bake" club!!!!

Wasn't as bad as the ones out west but you wouldn't know it from some of the TV interviews. Rednecks are coming out of the woodworks saying trees are down in the yard, trailer fell over, car are blocks in their front yard fell off, etc.

I must have slept thru it. All of my neighbors said they felt it....I think not. My dogs slept thru it to.
