Earthquake!

Strange, last night's 4.7 magnitude earthquake is listed as happening at 8:39:36pm. When I stopped shaking, went to kitchen to check time the microwave clock said: 8:20PM. My cell phone was across the room, plugged into an outlet charging at the time the loud bangs startled me, followed by the violent shaking sofa bed. The microwave clock may be off a bit, but only by a minute or two. Did not think to check my watch that I never use which was an arms reach away.

My thoughts quickly went to homeless people, on the streets experiencing earthquakes. I never felt any during my street living days, although I did live outside during tornadoes and hurricane like winds.
