OMG! Just felt an earthquake!
The house just shook, sounded like upstairs was rocking then it went through the whole house. Nothing broken, not to serious. Thta's all well and good, now I have to worry about another one.

Re: OMG! Just felt an earthquake!
Thanks guys.
I've put the TV on and it's on the news. Don't know if it's a quake or an aftershock or anything yet. It's scarey! We're only just over the Tsunami warning we had a few days ago!

It's weird though.

The noise is pretty amazing though. I never knew that quakes were so noisy.

The last one was a 5.6 and my husband laughed at me for being scared, as he said it was just a baby ... do you know what this one was?
