Earthquake

Between 10:20 AM and 10:30 AM I heard a loud thick rumbling like a very large very low flying helicopter -- but without the sound of the rotors.  The whole house shook, and I could feel it through my entire body.  At first I wasn't going to bother to try to see what aircraft it was, but the shaking continued so strong I went quickly outside --  I looked up but it had passed so I saw nothing but blue sky, sun, and some clouds.  Only later did I learn that Poughkeepsie had felt an earthquake that originated in NJ.


Just about 6 PM I was in the kitchen when I felt what seemed to be the rumble of a large truck driving down the street.  I jokingly wondered, "Was that an aftershock?"
Yep.  It was!
