    Default We were just hit with an Earthquake

    I was having a nap and suddenly I was awakened by a loud noise and house shaking. I don't think I have run so fast to get out of the house. Scared the bejesus out of me I am not sure where it came from. We were hit hard back in 2013, a 5.2 then.

    All is okay, there doesn't seem to be any damage that I can see anyway.

    My sister gets hit with them quite often now in Irving, Texas. She says a lot of times they will sound like really loud thunder. I remember a lot of earthquakes when we lived in southern California, but honestly can't ever remember hearing anything.

    Glad things weren't too serious.

    Glad you are ok Monique. Your area in the valley are known for some activity.


    On the other hand, I don't think you should blame an earthquake for shaking the house when it may have been caused by something else that happens when one naps. Zzzzzzzz's (Know what I mean?)

    Glad you have no damage to your home Monique. It is shocking when these occur. It sounds and feels like a truck has run into your house.

    We get quakes of a greater magnitude than that if we eat too much hot chili.
