About 15 minutes ago, I heard and felt rumbling. I figured it was just a semi going down the street, but I was wrong. According to all the local news networks, there was a quake, 4.5 on the richter scale. We've have had a quake is over 103 years. The last one as a 5.x back in May 20, 1897.

Cool shit.

I take it everyone is okay? did you notice your animals acting strangely before the quake? (I've always wanted to ask that)

My dog was acting really feisty about an hour before the quake, now she's sleeping.

Meh, earthquake schmerthquake. Come live down on top of a faultline in a dorm that is probably not designed to withstand a quake. (Especially when we felt a 5.x last year, and small tremors are fairly common)
