I felt this & it scared the bejeezus outta me!

It was about 4 am, when I felt the earth move....and not it a good way! My bed was vibrating like somebody dropped 4 quarters in the slot & my other furniture was shaking too.

I closed my eyes and prayed. I didn't know what was happening. Tornado is what came to mind first. I was kinda paralyzed.

The last time I can remember something like happening I was in elementary school.
