Earthquake

Ooo... I'm sitting here when the house takes a big jolt, then continues to roll for a while, windows rattling. Eric and I look at each other and start speculating where it's centered ... we get a clue just by turning on the radio to the Los Angeles stations where they are carrying on with no comment. Hmmm... gotta be east of us, if the radio hosts didn't feel anything. High desert?

Actually, now it's being covered by the local TV stations. It was a swarm of small quakes just 6-8 miles east of us. No wonder we felt it so strongly though they are small scale quakes (3.5 - 4.4 Richter scale range).

Interesting.

Not to put ideas in your head or anything, but I absolutely cannot remember ever feeling the earth go batshit here in Carolina.

Just saying.
