Irontonian and I felt it here in Ironton and it shook the house a little. She knew right off the bat it was an earthquake being from California but I had no clue. The house only shook for about 3 to 5 seconds but I think that is because we are so far away from where the center was. Interesting experience for me anyhow.

Its nothing to have quite a number of quakes reported around the world per day
