EARTHQUAKE!

I got woken up by a 4.2 earthquake about an hour ago...in Indiana! I heard a thud and thought I felt it too, then I heard my dresser creaking. It lasted no more than a few seconds. I thought either a plane had crashed nearby or a car drove into my house.

Nirvana, I bet you felt it. Shawnee, I read that it was even felt in the Dayton Ohio area...did you feel any of it?

Exciting when you know it's not a proper disaster

I know! Except, damn it, I wish I had been awake to feel the shaking. It was only a few miles from me.

The cafe lady said the ice machine all of a sudden started spewing ice, from the shaking. I didn't feel it. I miss everything! RATS! Of course, I'm constantly shaking my leg so probably didn't notice. What time exactly? Oh, I just looked online: shortly before 8 a.m. I was in the office at 5 'til. Still missed it.

You were right in the center of it!

I felt it here in Kettering Oh. My house shook a little like a giant was wondering what was inside. Over very quickly. Like sex.

I edited it. I don't want people to think I'm putting on airs.

I love the way cities names dont sound like they look. Near me is Russiaville, but don't you dare pronounce it the way it reads. Its Roo-sha-ville. And I came from Hobart, but pronounce it Ho-bert.

We have a Russia, but it's pronounced ROO-shee. And Versailles (ver SALES, which I guess make sense to merkins, but it's certainly not the french pronunciation.) My french last name (maiden name) was merkinized too.

Oh, and if you say LAN-caster Ohio, folks from Lankster will beat you up. I went to college with a bunch of people from Lancaster, I mean Lankster.

yeah, and our LIMA ohio is really LIMA - not LEEMA.

We have a Houston that's pronounced HOUSE-TON.

weird, weird state. Of course, we don't have a Blue Ball or Intercourse like some places do.

Aren't those two mutually exclusive? If you don't have one, you must have the other...
