Very small rattle. No cars going by and the windows and door rattled for a few seconds. Dog barking in background.
Very weird.

I'm in VA, and I remember the only EQ VA has had in years. It moved the blinds around in the window and I didn't really think too much of it until the news in the evening reported it was an EQ.

(26,263 posts)Most of the time, there are definite signs so you can prepare for a tornado, and take shelter. They are even better at sounding the alarms for the ones that happen after dark. Not so with quakes!! I've been in a couple of real shakers and it took me days to get my equilibrium back.

(Need to sell this place & move to a quieter town)
Yeah, rush hour is like when 10 cars go by in 30 minutes. Literally. Its a quiet neighborhood. There are dogs everywhere but they dont bark constantly, and if they do then something is probably wrong. I feel bad when my chickens announce the arrivals of their eggs
