Thank you, Twitter
For proving to be the best reliable news source in seconds.
I was wondering if I was crazy for feeling my room shake and waking me out of a dead sleep at 4:00 a.m. Got on IM and Rachel felt it, too.
Got on Twitter and nothing was really new. So I went to the search bar and typed in Earthquake. Hundreds of tweets within seconds from all over the state. Rockford. Champaign. Chicago.
Knowing what happened, (and 459 new tweets in the time it took to write this post, still no update on chicagotribune.com) now I can sleep better.
