Post by: j3nn0 on June 20, 2012, 07:28:42 PM: It sure was a good one, I thought there was a truck coming before I realized the whole place was shaking. Quite alarming because it went for so long.... I can't remember any others that bad.

Did anyone feel the after shocks? Apparently there was a few, I only felt one more about 10 mins after the initial.

Is this a sign of things to come???

The wife and girls were pretty scared. The dog went nuts!! She really didn't like it. I was more worried about opening my next can and copping a faceful of beer! >:( ;D ;D
