hmmmm although some of you have ruled out the possibility that it was a sonic boom from a jet, that would really be the only thing it could be, and any other time that it has happend that's what it was, especially since this isnt an area over any active plates.......A science teacher I know was talking to my dad about it not too long ago, I dont live where you all are, so I didnt feel anything, but just reading what you all put, that's what I would think it was

Maybe a gas line was leaking and someone went to light a cigarette?

Ok so I've got a big imagination...

Maybe you felt this fat girl I have been fucking for a while now. She rolled off my bed around the same time you guys are claiming you felt these tremors. Ill tell her to be more careful from now on. Sorry folks.
