    Default We Just Had an Earthquake!

    I thought it was a truck explosion, or something! 2.6 Not much shaking for me, but lots of sound.

    Well, that was new!

    Hope that was the end of it. Scary to say the very least
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

    Definitely a little weird when you're in an area not prone to them LOL. A couple years back we had a very small one in Indiana (first in my lifetime, and I lived there 22 years). It was 3 AM and I woke up to the closet door rattlling and the bed shaking. I thought for sure I was dreaming because it was over before I could really think about it. The thought that it could be an earthquake never even crossed my mind until I saw it in the news LOL.

    Glad it was no larger. When nature speaks - we do tend to listen!!

    Remember the last time one happened in NJ the next day there was one in CA. Hope that doesn't happen again.

    Actually, NJ is pretty prone to earthquakes because there's at least three different fault lines located in northern NJ alone:
