Magnitude 4.6 - SOUTHERN TEXAS (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/usb0006alu.php#details - broken link)

I work near downtown and chair was shaking. Epicenter was near Floresville and the depth seems too deep to be fracing.

I didn't feel it at all...that was right when I was taking my kids to school and we were all riding bikes. None of us noticed a thing.

I was stopped waiting for a school bus (those things take way too long :/ ), and noticed my truck swaying as if someone was pushing on the side of it. Didn't think terribly much of it until they announced on the radio that an earthquake had hit.

I thought a bunch of pranksters were shaking my house around. Of course, I was asleep and it woke me up. Now, I realize that it'd have to be a pretty big bunch of pranksters to pull that off. (What a strange reaction--sleepy brain, I guess.)

I had just returned from dropping my little brother & sister off at the bus stop at 7:18 AM. I guarantee I felt NOTHING. Northern Bexar County here.

Yeah! the gnomes got together protesting from lack of appreciation. Let's round up all the gnomes and shake this house until our demands are met. It happens all the time.Be kind to a gnome today
