can you feel the mountains tremble?

I awoke this morning from a dream only moments later to feel an earthquake rumble through town. At first I wondered if that was just a bizarre twist on my dream or whether I had imagined it.

I had heard that Kandern is near a fault line and that a few had been felt over the years. I got onto facebook and another friend had popped on as well. It was confirmed I experienced my first earthquake! I can now check that off the list of things to experience while at BFA (not that I had that much control over the matter to begin with...)

Here's some data that I found on the quake from the wee hours of the morning... The quake was a 4.5 on the Richter Scale and the epicenter was about 10 miles from here!
