Get ready to rumble

We just had a 5.8 earthquake centered not too far from where I live. There doesn't seem to be any significant damage, just a lot of frazzled nerves. Phone lines seem to be overwhelmed in some areas, though, as people are trying to get through to loved ones to make sure everything is okay.

Oh, and if you live in an area that doesn't get earthquakes, and you've heard that animals can sense them before they happen, that's a load of crap. None of my dogs have ever had this ability, and Riley probably would have slept through the whole thing if I hadn't jumped up and yelled "Holy shit!"
