[error99]

Hi, Backhoe!
It woke me (and Mrs. error99)up right at 5:00 a.m.
It was not anything major, it was more surprising than anything else.
It took a few seconds to even realize what was going on.
The bed was shaking, kind of like when someone climbs in or out.
All of the pull-handles on the bed room furniture were rattling.
I was (from slumber) trying to figure what was going on.
I got out of bed and stood up, and the floor was shaking slightly - kind of like a slight bouncing up and down.
I was on the 3rd floor of a wood-framed structure.
It is built with long wooden trusses.
There is quite a bit of 'bounce' built in.
It was most like what happens when someone runs through the house.
We did not 'hear' any roar or anything like that.
Two kids are home and they both slept through it.
Dogs and cat did not seem to care, either
(except for wondering why I was up and did that mean it was time to eat?).
The whole thing lasted maybe 30 seconds - hard to tell for sure.
Quite a novelty event.
Local news does not report any damage or injury or anything like that.
Quake was on the Alabama Georgia line, something like maybe 75 miles south of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Thats maybe 100 or so miles away from me.

Hello, error99- I'm certainly glad you & yours are OK... we have a circa 1880's wooden house that's built like a ship- lots of oak beams & dovetail joints & 10-penny iron nails, so it takes a lot to shake it much-- the last quake a year or so ago did rattle the house, but nothing happened this time, except to dog seemed to be having bad dreams...

...and my wife's up early, darnit, so I have to do the househusband thing & cook...
