At 10:15 this morning I was waiting to hear from a contractor or two and chatting with Swapna online when there was a loud rumble - sort of like thunder - and then the house started to shake. All of the doors and windows shook violently for several seconds.. So violently that a stunned Judge jumped up and ran from door to door barking viciously to keep whatever was out there from getting in. There was a brief pause - long enough for me to find Judge and get him to stop barking - before it happened again. The second time was a little shorter than the first - but there was a lot of creaking and groaning and I could hear things falling off the shelves in the garage... I'm not sure if the force itself knocked the bottles and boxes over - or if the spooked cats did it all.
I ran outside to look for smoke on the horizon - but there was nothing. Then, of course, I called Mom. She felt it too. Then I called Dave at work - and, yes, they all felt it.
So what was it? Will we ever find out? Is it going to happen again? Was it supposed to happen in the first place?
And am I ever going to hear from the contractors again?
