Earthquake

Today I can proudly say that I survived my first earthquake.  They are extremely rare in the state I live in but nonetheless we experienced a quake measuring 4.6 on the richter scale this morning around 7:30am.  I was laying in my bed texting Hubby and waiting for a sub call.  At first it felt like a cat had jumped on the bed.  Before I was married I had a cat (who passed away a few weeks before my wedding) and she always slept on my bed.  Sometimes when she jumped on the bed the force of her leap would shake it a bit.  This is what the beginning of the earthquake felt like.  However my cat wasn't here so and as I looked around the room I realized that the entire house seemed to be shaking.  I wasn't too worried.  Living on a military post this occasionally happens when an exceptionally large truck rolls by or when they pack a little too much gun powder into the cannon at 5:30pm.  It seemed a little early for the trucks and the house seemed to shake more than usual.. after all my entire bed was shaking.. but I just chalked it up to something normal.  The entire thing only lasted for a minute or two.  Half an hour later I turned on the TV to find reports of the quake on the news.  Who knew?!  Not everyone felt it but I can say that I definitely did.  Luckily it wasn't a big deal.
