Pretty incredible. My entire house shook hard x 2. I thought it got hit by a truck. Well, there's a first for everything :)

Do you still have a house? That is still high on the richter scale. I remember living under the seismic fault line when the '94 quake hit in Ca. It was a 6.7. It threw me out of bed.
the pentagon and capotol buildings are being evaced
That happened about 20 years or so ago here in FTW. It felt like the house was moving back & forth a couple of inches from N to S. What did yours feel like?
Quakes reported all around the country.

Damn Terra-ists, Obummer is calling for more El Presidente powers to fight this latest threat.
Had a 5. something in Trinidad Colorado. Been a LONG time sine that has happened.
You felt Thor's Hammer, don't forget IRENE is coming this weekend to give you a nice wet kiss. ODIN!!! Has spoken

As AJ was mentioning today, we have a nuclear reactor (not two miles from where we live) in the Jake Pickle Research Center right on top of the Balcones Fault Line...just peachie.

I just came back from running, so pardon the late reply. The best way I can describe the feeling I experienced is if you've ever been in a fender bender and can recall the initial impact. It was like I stopped short and everything else continued to move. There were two distinct jolts, with the second one being the sharpest. Needless to say it was a really strange sensation and I'm frankly surprised nothing is damaged in or on the house.
WTF is wrong with you? You're supposed to be pissing yourself, crying like a little girl, on your knees begging the all-powerful goobermunt to save you. So what are you doing instead? Exercising. Clinging to your guns & bibles. Fuckin' hick.
Expect some aftershocks of equal or greater magnitude.
Yeah, I wanna see the hick cryin' like a girl on YouToob.
LOL!! Catch this. The Mrs. was downstairs (we have a walk out basement) so she heard noise, but didn't feel the house shake. When I told her it was an earthquake, she yelped, "call the police." After I was done laughing, and knew she was serious, I made a mental note not to feed her when the supply lines go down.
You should check around good, especially around the water heater/plumbing to make sure you don't have any leaks.
You live with me now, don't you?
Dang, Mrs.T is not up to speed. Call the police? Come'on.

Would it be disloyal to wish for a Richter 10.0 after shock? :-)
