Earthquake

On Friday, we had an earthquake! The girl and I were the only ones home. It was about 10:45pm and we had just gone to our beds. We each heard a loud rumbling like an explosion and then the house shook for 20 or 30 seconds. We both thought the new car had blown up in the garage. I fully expected to see flames and smoke when I opened the door to the garage, but all was quiet. On my way back up the stairs, there was a smaller aftershock and  then we knew for sure it was an earthquake. We looked it up on the computer the next day and saw that it was a 3.6 and we were at the epicenter. Now we're thinking we should finally get that earthquake kit put together!!
