Re: Quake!
The earth does this all the time across the globe, it's part of our living planet. When it stops quaking then it's time to worry.

The 552 has a floating chamber so S,L,LR can work and that's why the are so dirty. But the system works very well. ...

Been 5 aftershocks now.
Just stopped by the hardware store, said they had all kinds of stuff falling off the walls.
Sage does NOT like the after shocks, jumps up and starts barking which wakes Parker and Claro but they just go back to sleep.
