I heard rumbling getting louder and louder, followed by an explosive noise as my house shook for 5 loooong seconds.
At first i thought it was a plane that went down and crashed, but then i heard rumbling AFTERWARDS getting quieter and quieter so i knew that that must be after-effects and it was an earthquake. i never felt an earthquake as much as i did last night. it was extremely freaky. my wife was shaking like a leaf, she was so scared.
