Hi kids! that was an earthquake! Whee!
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/nc40204628.htm5.6! wowsers! didn't feel that big to me. I thought 4.0 at the most.
big ol' red blot, lol.
( snapshot of the recent quakes map )ETA: Apparently that was a lot more nerve-wracking for the folks at home, to wit, my parents (and the quite freaked-out dog). I was underground in a concrete-and-steel building at the time, for one thing, while they were above in a wood-frame house. Apparently it shook the place pretty good, but nothing got broken or anything.
