Yeah, that kind of the way it felt to me too (what I meant in my original post when I said it felt like someone walking in the house). I think that's the reason I noticed it at all.

I live about 11miles west of Lexington TN & 25miles east of Jackson. I went to bed at 4am & I was still awake when it hit. I felt my bed shaking, like in a massage chair type way, I raised my head & looked around & laid back down & said "oh well, whatever it is, it will stop in a minute". After that I fell asleep. Had I been asleep I never would have woken up. My mom slept through it too. As did my 2 cats & my dog.

As far as windows shaking, that didn't happen here. Besides we live like 20minutes from the Milan Arsnal & they test the ammo there like everyday. It almost always rattles the windows here. We never would have noticed that. Even if we did we would say "ah, it's nothing, thery're just testing". LOL.

Anyway. Hope eveyone affected is ok.

I have the vibrator feature on my TempurPedic bed. It lulls me to sleep. I live outside Knoxville and the news said that our area felt the quake. I slept right through it; I must have thought it was the bed vibrating!

It jolted me awake, and I thought "Oh, no, it's the Big One!" then I remembered, "I'm not in CA, anymore." So then I thought they were starting the construction across the street way too early. By then I was tired of thinking, so I just went back to sleep.

Funny GBH. I remember I was in Las Vegas when the last big one hit CA. It was surreal.

If you felt it and want to report it, I've set up [URL="http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2008/04/earthquake-this-morning-tennessee.html"]a link[/URL] to the USGS.....funny thing is, today is the 102nd anniversay of the great San Francisco Earthquake....oh, and areas of West Tennessee have an Earthquake Drill planned for today...been in the works for a year now! *AMAZING!*
Felt the quake in Celina,Ohio. No Boom though!
