About 20-30 minutes ago there may have been an earthquake that was felt in Northern Illinois.  I woke up to the birds in the room next store startled by something, then felt the sensation of my bed moving.  After calming the birds down, i turned on the television and a Chicago station was reporting that they were recieving calls that people had felt a possible earthquake.  A few minutes ago Fox News is reporting a 5.4 earthquake with no immediate reports of damage.  More information will be added as it becomes available.

     Heavy rain and wind was the norm across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin throughout the day today.  Flooding is the main concern throughout the entire area.  Overnight tonight strong to possibly severe storms are possible.  Some of the storms that look to be heading our direction have produce tornadoes earlier around the Quincy, IL area.
