(CNN) -- A magnitude-5.2 earthquake, centered 131 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, shook southern Illinois early Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

There were few reports of damage immediately after the predawn quake, which struck at 4:36 a.m. (5:36 a.m. ET), but CNN affiliate WHAS-TV in Louisville, Kentucky, showed footage of rubble left in a street after a cornice fell off a brick building there.

The epicenter of the earthquake was about three miles below ground, six miles northwest of Mount Carmel, Illinois, and 38 miles north-northwest of Evansville, Indiana, according to the USGS.

We've had earthquake tremors and a cougar in Chicago this week. Not exactly typical...

All over the news and street here.

Damn thing woke me up 20 minutes early at 5:40a. Mini NFL Helmets fell off my bed. Speakers vibrated off the computer desk, and worst of all, My OU Flag came down:(

I didn't either, pets didn't seem to like it too much though. I woke up to a chorus of dogs and cats voicing their concerns around 4:45...

It was so bad it made me want to put on some DMB to dull out the noise. ;)

Two Step would have been the perfect choice. :D

Let's just hope this doesn't have an affect on the New Madrid fault....that will be a large one.
