Yesterday around 12:45 AM, Husband, Jude and I were vegging out on the couch.  When all of sudden, the wall creaked and the couch started to shake.  At first, I wasn't sure if Jude was moving the couch or if was an earthquake.  Then, I heard my pictures hanging on the wall rattling.  At that moment, I knew it was another earthquake. 
Once I figured out it was an earthquake, my heart rate shot up to about 180 beats per minute.  Then, I stood up and waited.  I waited to see if I needed to bend over and kiss my ass goodbye, or if it was going to be a non-event.  At first, it was just a little shaky-shaky action.  It slightly intensified and then stopped.  The shaking lasted about 10 seconds.  So, that makes this the longest earthquake I've ever felt.  But, overall, it was a non-event.  No damage to report. 
This earthquake was just little reminder that I always need to be aware and ready for anything.  So, I bought some extra can goods yesterday at the grocery store.  Just in case.
