Default 4.6 earthquake tonight!

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574...32-421,00.html

i had the cover over my lightbulb fall off, my computer screen went all weird colours and the windows started rattling.... no damage though for most people apart from some short power losses

Glad you are okay, joveski
We have had a couple of earthquakes in Indiana and it is a very strange sensation as it begins. I couldn't figure out for a few seconds what was happening.
Makes me kind of glad not to be a California girl, MistyMoppens
