(Minor) Earthquake!

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/nc40204628.html

It wasn't very big but it's my first earthquake and definitely an interesting experience. The walls were shaking, so was my chair, but not by very much; nothing fell off any bookcases or anything like that. It lasted for about 10 seconds or so and then stopped, and I was wondering "That's it??". According to the website above it was a 5.6 quake centered about a 40 mins drive east from here.

Small stuff to the local folks, but exciting for me. :)
