Earthquake????

It's 4:47am and I just woke up because I was shaking and then heard my bird going crazy and his cage rattling (and him falling down).

Now, the question is: Was this shaking due to a weak earthquake or something my upstairs neighbors did as they were waking up?

UPDATE (04:54): USGS website just updated and there was a 5.4mg in southeast Illinois! I submitted my report. :-)

UPDATE (14:12): Downgraded to 5.2mg earlier today. There was a decent aftershock, but I didn't feel that. When I went into my bedroom this morning, I saw that I had one earthquake casualty: one picture fell down from my picture board right by my bird cage. Sad.
