Earthquake hits North Texas!

I know it sounds crazy - but it is true. We experienced an earthquake in the DFW area (between Irving and Grand Prairie - just to the east of me) this past Thursday night. I was sitting at the table working on the computer and watching TV when I heard, what sounded like a horrible boom in the distance and then everything shook in the house. From where I was sitting on the computer - I could see the back of the couch and it began to shake. It was the weirdest feeling - and I wasn't even sure what it was. I quickly looked out the front windows and then went upstairs to look out those windows. I was trying to figure out what could have caused that. I was worried that some sort of explosion went off somewhere close - or perhaps even a plane crashed nearby - I was not sure. I even thought about calling 9-1-1 just to see if they'd heard anything. I went to bed soon after and felt a couple more small - what I later discovered - were more tremors. It never occurred to me that it could be an earthquake - because that is only something you hear about in California, or Asia. The next morning the news was covering this whole "earthquake" that hit the night before at about 11:25 and continued off and on until 3:30 AM. Wow, I actually witnessed a real earthquake - it was cool! It was not large enough to cause damage - as it was only between a 2.5 and 3.0 magnitude. Still, it was an actual earthquake - but just a mild one!
