Earthquake?

I'm sitting in my bed and suddenly felt a little wobbly. I thought maybe it was the really big truck driving by, but then the truck went away and the wobbliness continued. Then I looked at my wall and the mirror was shaking. This whole episode lasted maybe 10 seconds.

Interesting.

Update:

Suspicions confirmed!

Mal sehen,ob irgendjemand das liest!
Ich hoffe,dass es nur bei diesen kleinen Erdbeben bleibt.Kann ja doch scary sein.
