Yes, we had an earthquake! Thursday night, actually Friday morning at 1:09 am, when we both happened to be half awake. The bed seemed to roll for a few seconds. Dad said, “Did you do that”? And I said, “No, did you”? I said, “It was probably an earthquake.” But you know dad never thinks I am right. He got the flashlight and looked under the bed. I am not sure what he expected to find. We went into the office on Friday and checked the earthquake site and sure enough. The epicenter was in Venezuela and it was 4.9 on the Richter scale.

How far away from you was the epicenter? Is that common occurence for your area? Freaky!
Thanks for the chuckle, Mom. I loved it. Keryn says they are now calling it a 5.1. It was about 110 miles from Mom and Dad. Naturally, Keryn dug up a website with full scientific info that also allows people who felt the quake to give scientists info about what sort of shaking was felt.
