Controller reports that the tower shook and were ready to evacuate. Clip shortened to eliminate dead air.

I was wondering why there was so much activity at dupage at 4am but I forgot AirNet has been flying out of there for about a year now.

Yep I believe it was a 3.8 on the scale. I didn't feel anything but my friends said that they felt it. I sleep to hard for that. :roll:

USGS downgraded it to 3.8.
