Our house shook pretty bad for a few seconds, it shook more than when we had an earthquake directly in Campton a few years ago. 
Brandie was so cute she came running downstairs with her beloved cat, she loves that cat so much.  :)

Surprisingly I remained pretty calm and reassured everyone that we might live, ha, ha!   >:D

Here's the older Campton info.

A friend of mine called from Rollinsford and said they had a 4.0 there.  A year or two ago, I experienced a 5.8 here near Washington, DC.  Depending on which physical parameter is being compared, each increment of 1 on the Richter scale is either an increase of 10 times or an increase of 32 times (32 is 10 times the square root of 10).

I was sitting at my dining room table at the time, and it felt like some monster had just picked up my house like a doll house and was violently shaking it just to annoy me.  All we sustained for structural damage was the grout breaking away around one sink.

Geesh, your so smart when it comes to that math stuff, I just don't "get" it, I'm lucky if I get simple multiplication correct. :P  Wow, that sounds pretty scary and I'm glad your house didn't get too messed up!  :)

Leave it to Dale to invent an entirely new method of cock sucking.

Math can get very complicated.

I think it is funny how firecracker Joe pretends this was not because of his underground explosions
