[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 330380, member: 14003"] I have a metal cabinet in my bedroom and anytime we have had an earthquake it rattles and wakes me up.We have had 2-3 noticable quakes in the last 6-8 years. They always wake me up. The one last week was a little scary as it went on and on, or so it seemed. 20-30 seconds is an eternity when your house is shaking! My wife and I actually got out of bed and headed for the door downstairs. Nobody has mentioned the aftershock this morning at 12:28am. I believe they said it was a 4.0. I woke up this morning too. Yep, you guessed it, cabinet rattling.This one was only about 10 seconds. Kind of a helpless feeling when all you can do is wonder how long and how strong it will get and hope it ends soon. I am close enough to the New Madrid fault to wonder if this is "the big one". There is a very good website at [URL]http://earthquake.usgs.gov/[/URL] where you can get the most up to date info on quakes. You can even fill out a survey, wether you felt it or not, that helps them figure the severity of the quake. I usually fill it out when I feel a quake. The website has a ton of info for you quake buffs. Check it out! [/QUOTE]
