Felt like an explosion and sudden shaking that only lasted a couple of seconds.

:-(

4. Quick, go buy gas!
Here in the south, people buy gas when there is a calamity. Of course, these are the same ones who think earthquakes are the birth pangs right before the antichrist and all that jazz happens.
