Definitely! That was why we went online to see if there was an earthquake! Our whole house started shaking. The closet doors were rattling and our pocket doors were sliding open. Never experienced that before! Wow! Was there much damage in Maine?

We felt it in Warrendale. The windows started rattling and my wife and I were just staring at each other and wondering what was going on!

I was on my computer and my desk shook a tad then it felt like a jolt and my chair (with me in it ) moved across the floor. IT WAS AWESOME> Now my sister lives in Sanford Maine real close to the epicenter. I talked to her and she said the sound of it was horrendous. They actually thought a house across the street blew up that was how loud it was.. She says she still feels her floors shaking . Actually her dog was whining and trying to pull her out of the chair right before it hit..
