Small Earthquake in Chicago

We are not off the ground yet but will leave later today. Since we arrived in Chicago, it has snowed a ton and at about 4am this morning there was a small earthquake here. I slept right on through it but Keith was awakened by the big boom and the shaking. Plus mom went into the hospital yesterday after being dizzy and disoriented. Good news is that the nurses say she seems to be fine and will probably go back home. Let's hope that we can get off to Istanbul tonight without any more drama.
