Earthquake in Ohio

No, really. Not a tornado but an earthquake!

I was reading my little one a bed time story when I felt my whole house shake on its foundation. It felt as if a car ran into the house (ok, granted not a familiar feeling, a car running into the house, but I imagine it would feel that way).

I had no idea what happened, until today when Mike told me he saw on the news that we had a 2.9 earthquake. Holy Cow!! Ironically, he did not notice it at all (must have been asleep watching TV, but wont admit to it).

So I guess the next time a car runs into my house, I can say "Crap that felt like an earthquake" and mean it since I now know what an earthquake feels like. And let me tell you, NOT A GOOD FEELING!!

The scary part is there are two fault lines that run through my county (someone remind me why I moved here???), and both have had earthquakes that have been over 5.0. One of the fault lines is within 5-7 miles! (Again, remind me why I moved here?)
