New England Earthquake

[Gcroz]

Ok, not that big a deal for many folks. I've felt worse in Jakarta, Japan, and California, but we just had a 4.6 earthquake here in New England. Got the house a shakin' and a rattlin'!

There was one in Nebraska this spring or summer. The epicenter was by a tiny town called Octavia. The earthquake was very small first you heard a very, very loud bang and then everything rattled a little and the animals got a little spooked.

i think upper new england is included in that active seismic zone that includes around montreal and quebec; just things settling... that area of canada has quite a few small quakes a year according to the charts I read a few days ago
