Yep, But I didn't feel anything. Some things rattled around the house. Dogs went crazy and wasn't sure what it was at first. Then saw it on the news. Crazy.

Haha, yeah, I was wondering what that rattling was. Kinda wimpy though, would have been interesting if it was like a 6.0 or something.

Nothing here, but at one of our houses under construction, the ground shakes like a quake evertime they run the compactor over the ground. Those little machines can really shake the ground

Yeah, it shook our house pretty good. Woke my mother up from a sound sleep at her house next door. They say it was centered in Hot Springs and that is an hour away from here.

My parents felt it up in Kingsport, Tennessee as well. Just a slight rumble but still freaky.

Tonight. Getting ready to head over to the shop, change the tires, and load it up. Should get there in the 7-8pm range.

Yep, I sat straight up in the bed. Thought a tornado had finally come thru to swallow up my trailer! Anyway, every light in the neighborhood went on. Shook the house pretty good -- well, trailer. Definetely not a house!
