An earthquake?
We don't get earthquakes in the D.C. area . . . at least not very often.
It measured 3.6 and the epicenter was thought to be at the largest intersection near my house. We had dinner at a restaurant on that corner just last Saturday night.
It sounded and felt like a big rumble of thunder, but not from the sky. Then the house began shuttering and then a deep, loud boom, and the house seemed to lower and settle back down.
We felt an aftershock 11 minutes later, but no one seems to be reporting on that.
Wild.

hmmm. . .do you think it's a sign or something?
We had a 5.4 in upstate NY a couple of weeks ago.
It is an odd feeling isn't it? We have them every once in a while, seems we live on a big fault line...oh joy!
Glad you are ok!
I'm in the NE and our area isn't well known for them either. But we do get small ones, now and then.
We're on rock. And I suppose it, like all the earth's crust, gets to "wiggling-around" now and then.<--Don't you love my scientific analysis?!? ,-)
I feel for you, having been through 5 of them when I was out in San Diego. They are unsettling, aren't they?

Whoa..that must be scary! Glad you're ok though..
Wow ! It's unsettling isn't it - there was a small one when we lived in Antigua quite freaky.
Thought of you and prayed for you and yours immediately when I heard about the earthquake. Thankful to see all is well and intact. Very scary!

I grew up on a faultline so I go used to the earth moving under my feet. But when a big on hits and things go flying, windows break, it is scary as heck! I too have heard the BANG of an earthquake. I dont think that happens very often. Hope you arent too freaked out.
Wow. It's a small world. I woke up to emails and facebook status' about this. Then later I'm reading your blog going, "What? Another one?" I guess I didn't register that you're in MD. With a lot of my family :-) I spent ages 9 to 18 in Silver Spring.
Blimey...that must of been scary for you..I panic with a bit of thunder and lightning!
Wow! What a way to wake up. I felt the same thing the other day, but I live near a quarry LOL!
Now that would scare me too death.
Here on the coast hurricane season is coming and I dread that.
Glad you are ok.
