Experiencing An Earthquake - hopefully me first and last

R. Linda:

I experienced me first earthquake at 7:10 this night. Tonya and I were sitting in the kitchen eating our dinner when the entire house shook and rumbled. The cat took off and so did the dogs. We checked the house from the attic to the cellar and the structure seems fine. I called me old neighbour and he said he experienced it as well.

Turns out it was a 4.6 magnitude that happened in Portland, Maine and shocked out all the way to Dublin and Ringe, New Hampshire and as far north as Concord. Some phone lines are down it is said, but I don't know where that is. We are hoping for no aftershocks because we are quite a bit jarred (literally).

So far, no report of damage, but I have to tell you that was the strangest experience I've ever had in me life. It lasted for about 10 seconds and I thought the roof had come down and was crashing through the second story. On examination, all seems well. Let's hope it stays that way.

Here's the graphic of it.



Shook in New Hampshire,
