Holy crap! I didn't expect to read this when I woke up.  This 5.2 is just a sample of whats to come when the New Madrid decides to really let loose.

It woke a couple people in my house up in Chicago.  One of my roomates was like "WTF are Nathan and his girlfriend doing having sex at 430 in morning?" 

From what I have heard it doesn't sound there was too much damage. Good news.

First of all " beat you too bad"?!?!?.... :lmao:  ( I've SEEN you race ) ( No Jokes PLEASE RICK!)

Second...Yep!....Kyle and I will be up Thursday night for the Friday T & T. Plan is to have the SB ready to shake out by then.

The Husky is taking longer than planned...so he will take one SV and I will take the other, something like that.

Look forward to seeing you guys :thumb:

Sounds like I missed out on the only fun that area's seen in years.
From what I've read it was centered right around the St. F and Lawrenceville area.

Are you saying Family Tree's tend to only have 1 branch in So. Ill.?

At least it's not like So. Mo. where the DNA tests sometimes involve testing different species ......
