I didn't know what it was... it woke me up out of a deep sleep, my cat was yowling... my dogs were whining and my whole house was shaking... I even got a little "sea" sick. It lasted about 10 mins...
I remember something similar way back in the mid 80s... but nothing since then.
This is what I found on cnn.com

(CNN) -- A magnitude 5.4 earthquake, centered 127 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, shook southern Illinois at 4:36 a.m. (5:36 a.m. ET) Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
There were no immediate reports of damage, according to USGS spokeswoman Jessica Sigala.
The epicenter of the earthquake was about 3 miles below ground and 41 miles north-northwest of Evansville, Indiana.
People as far north as Chicago and as far west as St. Louis reported feeling the quake, Sigala said.
