    I thought it was my furnace exploding at first – I guess I’m reassured it was “just” an earthquake!

    Felt it but it was more like hearing an usual rumble much stronger than a large truck going by here in Leeds Maine

    Yes, I felt it. I’m in Topsham and was sitting here. Heard a rumbling to the south of me and then felt the tremmer and then it rolled right under me. Being from California, I knew what was coming. Not a bad one, but always amazes me of the power of God!
