Well, that was fun

There are certain things you expect living in North Carolina.
Oppressive heat and humidity, large insects, the occasional hurricane, and rabid college basketball fans. All of that sort of goes with the territory.

What you *don't* expect is an earthquake.

It wasn't really a big deal (I've been through worse in Japan) and there was no damage around here, but after the first few seconds of shaking (it lasted maybe 10-15 seconds in total), it did get a little unnerving.

Guess that's what I get for lamenting a boring Tuesday afternoon!
