Felt the aftershock here in White Plains, New York, about 6pm. Really made me think back to 1970, when I was living in Canoga Park, California. I was two-months shy of 13, and woke up to a 6.7 magnitude earthquake moving my double bed from wall to wall across my room! It lasted way too long, and our backyard in ground pool slid down the hill. I honestly had no idea what was happening, and thought the Russians had dropped the bomb!
 

Yeah Terry, remember back in grade school when we practiced hiding under our desks in case the Russians did drop the bomb.
Oh yeah! The "good old days" - LOL!
 

Glad your safe Terry !
