Last night around midnight my house started shaking, didn't know what to think first, then I went to check my SVS wasn't malfunctioning. Keeps going on for about 3-4 times until 0:30am and then stops.

Damn EARTHQUAKE in Dallas, TX!!! :)

    " The U.S. Geological Survey said an earthquake with a 2.5 magnitude was reported at 11:25 p.m. Thursday Oct 30th , centered in the Grand Prairie area.

    The agency said a slightly stronger quake, at 3.0 magnitude, occurred at 12:01 a.m. Friday Oct 31st , centered in Irving about 10 miles west of Dallas. "


    We get those little 2 to 3's on a weekly basis here ( I can throw a football and hit the San Andreas fault from my house :) )

    It takes about a 3 and over now for me to even notice its an actual earthquake now ( After living here next to the fault for 15 years )...and my subs do more shaking then a 3 too ;)

    Yep, it wasn't a lot, much less than the one I experienced in San Diego a few months back, but it's unusual over here. It felt like one but couldn't believe it was so didn't know what to think. Must be all those gas drillings around...
