i felt the earth move under my feet

Early this morning, (1:AM) there was an earthquake. I heard it and it quite startled me. There was a loud rumbling, shaking sound. It appeared to be coming from the computer in the room. I thought it must've been the neighbors, or an alien, or a poltergeist. Scott said it must've been an earthquake. I checked this morning, and: Well, Blow me down! It was an earthquake, by gum! Trip-endicular.
