Too close for comfort

I always used to say "close only counts in horseshoes, farting and now it would seem earthquakes." It wasn't a biggie(2.9) but it still shook the house !! Thats our house with the line to the centre of the quake,only a couple hundred meters.
Thank goodness it was only a 2.9!!!! It just shows how bad the ground is around this area. They really haven't gone away, they seem to have lessened in intensity...this one just seemed too close to home for my liking.
