Yesterday as I was sitting on my futon watching tv, I thought for sure I felt my floor shake, being as how I am close to the airport I thought it might me jet engines or something, but I was like "man that was wierd." Today I downloaded this app for my mac called "Tremor Skimmer" and It tells you all the earthquakes all over the world at any given moment, I decided to check yesterday's and this is what I found....
