### I happened to be awake, and thought someone was
violently trying to open my front door. Then there was
a pause (one-one-thousand two-two-thousand), and the
whole front of the house (a big ol Queen Anne 2 story
of plaster and 1" thick tongue-in-groove clapboard)
started to shake with this sudden, violent wind. THEN
I noticed "Yo! No wind sound! Eh?" (I'm having trouble
staying up on one elbow at this point.) I remembered
being 9 stories high in Bloomington,IN in 1987, when a
3.5 hit, and I thought "Ohhhhhh. Got it."

I also felt the 4.? that hit at 1:47am two days later.
Again, the front door sounded like it was being
kicked, before the whole house got into it. That
two-sets-of-waves thing.
