Earthquake at 8:07 am in North Carolina?

If you really think about it, where mountains are formed, there is a fault line. This line is essentially two pieces of earth colliding into eachother every once in a while producing tremors and sometimes full on earthquakes!

Well, I was in an earthquake this morning! I live in southwestern Virginia near the college town that Virginia Tech is located.

I was sitting on my couch working on my website and all of a sudden felt this shaking. It wasn't loud and I briefly thought that Glenn had slammed a door downstairs causing a stronger vibration.

Silly me...

There was an initial jolt then a longer tremor that lasted about 3 seconds. I started looking around from where I sat after my dog started barking. The furniture behind me had creeked a little bit, but no damage.

I went outside about five minutes later and yelled for Glenn. I told him I thought we had had a minor earthquake and told me that when he had gone outside from our garage, he heard what sounded to him like an approaching rainstorm, but then when I came out, he said he couldn't hear it anymore.
