Did anyone feel like they were at a local track last night around 10:23 p.m.?
If so, tell me where you were and what you were doing.
I literally felt the earth move under my shoes!

I was sitting here in The Lair, working on a short story I'm writing (not for publication here). Things in The Lair started to rattle and several of my die cast cars began to roll off the shelves. Sounded like one of those Hemis from the 1964 Daytona 500 rolling past just outside the window. Not sure how long it lasted but must have been about 10 seconds as I had time to jump up and grab the #43 Superbird just before it rolled off its pedestal.
My next througt was that it was a jet or helicopter that flew over too low but about that time our phone rang and it was our daughter asking if we had felt anything. She said it was an earthquake. We turned on the television and thanks for WLTX and their fine staff, we got all the details right away.
My next and final thought before going to bed was that in less than three days we had experienced sleet, snow, freezing rain, sunshine, a full moon, and now an earthquake. What next? The wicked witch flying over the house with her flying monkeys trailing behind her?
Glad y'all survived the rattling. Heard it was really bad around Augusta. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, thunder snow, earthquakes... maybe somebody upstairs doesn't like the "new" Chase format.
(CNN) -- A 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck Friday night in west-central South Carolina, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was the strongest to hit South Carolina since 2002, local emergency management officials said.
The quake was centered 7 miles (12 kilometers) west-northwest of Edgefield, which is about 25 miles north of Augusta, Georgia, and 60 miles southwest of Columbia, South Carolina. The town of Edgefield has some 4,750 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The USGS estimates the quake's depth was about 3 miles (4.6 kilometers).
Same here. Can't help but wonder what will be next! Glad all is well in Turn 3.
Sounded like a plane crashinTurn 2. House shook. I looked out the windowand saw no visible damage.
Called the police dept to make sure what I'd experienced had really just happened. The dispatcher said he didn't know what had happened and stated the phone was ringing off the hook. Then a good friendtexted me and said get on line now. Definitely a scary moment.
I just discovered it was NOT the quake I felt. I had my cell phone on vibrate and Brian was calling.
lol...good one, now that's funny......
My feet tingled for a good 30 minutes afterwards. Funny how the body responds to occurrences'.
