Earthquake

Having lived in East Texas my entire life earthquakes are not something we talk much about. Hurricane's yes earthquake's never. That was until last Thursday when a 3.7 earthquake hit a small town about 15 miles from our house. We were at work when it hit but my MIL who lives near us was home and felt it. It was a small quake and thankfully there was no damage. We really did not think much about it as there is a fault that runs through East Texas that has been inactive for years.  Then this morning a little after 3:00 I got to experience my very first and hopefully last earthquake. I woke up to a low rumble sound, the house shaking and window's rattling. It took me a second to register what was going on. Thankfully the kids did not wake up and it did not last long. We later learned that it was a 4.3 on the Richter scale and occurred in the same exact spot as last week. Unfortunately there were some homes with damage this time, but luckily no one was hurt. We found a small crack in our bathroom this morning but it can be easily fixed. Thank goodness that was all that happened!
