No reports of damage or injury so far... Bridges and tunnels were closed for a bit to inspect everything but back to normal now.

Glad everyone is okay. We were in a minor earthquake in Oklahoma (possibly due to fracking) and while it caused no damage, it was shocking.

Good. That was a bit of a shock (no pun intended).

That earthquake scared the crap out of me. I thought a plane was about to crash into our home. My mom in New Jersey started praying during the earthquake. I was too busy looking in the sky for a plane lol.

Earthquakes are one of my biggest fears.
I’m glad there have been no reports of fatalities or major destruction. How scary!!
