What's Shaking, CTA?

Posted April 19, 2:57 p.m

I didn't feel it at all, but apparently we had an earthquake early this morning and everybody's abuzz about it.

Who knew? I went to bed around 2 a.m., and I admit, I sleep like the dead, so don't judge the impact by my non-reaction.

In fact, when visiting my sister, Kozi, in Cali, last year, I mistook a pretty decent earthquake for some rude upstairs neighbor moving furniture. I was quizzical when she said it was an actual quake.

In the Chicago shake-scene: I asked the CTA if anything fell or was otherwise damaged along the system, and apparently, it's all good. Hey, I don't want signs falling on my public transit peeps' heads.

Here's what CTA spokeswoman Wanda Taylor told me:

"There was no damage to any CTA facility or vehicle as a result of this morning's quake."

Were you on the CTA in the wee hours when Chicago got the shakes? Did you feel it?
