About 10:45 this morning, the flat rumbled.
River said, "I think I felt the floor shake."
Lying, I said, "No. The floor is definitely not shaking."
It was just then that the quake started in earnest. The floor shook, the dining table rattled, and the glass door rattled in its frame enough to open and then rattle more.
The quake lasted for a little over a minute and I figure it registered as Magnitude 4.
The quake's epicenter was in Tanzania (again), 125 miles (205 km) from here.
Here is the USGS data on this morning's quake:
Location: MAP
Magnitude: 5.2
Event: 2007/08/18 07:44:02

I'll be glad to get back home where we have normal terra firma.
