Earthquake!

I just went through the 3rd earthquake I've been through. All of them were lame and small which is good because I have no interest in dealing with property damage/injuries/death. I don't even remember the first one I was in. The second one was in 2001 and I was in Springfield and the house shook for 10 seconds and woke me up but there was no damage. This time it only lasted about 2 seconds and the entire house shook, almost like a really big wind gust. There was a loud noise too. The dogs freaked out like we were being invaded by aliens. Scott went outside to check and said it wasn't windy then he walked around the house and found nothing. I got a little freaked out but didn't think it was an earthquake. About 20 minutes later, everyone on facebook was posting about an earthquake so I googled it. It was a 4.5 centered in Maine somewhere.

One thing that's weird to think about is - will there be more? I mean we are sitting near fault lines. Where there's one, there's bound to be more or after shocks. Here's hoping to no more. 

This picture is hilarious:
