(Edited 1/5/09 *** Did anyone feel another one on Jan 5th at about 12:25 pm? I just felt my house shake. Not sure if it's the quarry down the street - but it was stronger than what they quarry usually feels like)

Did anyone in Lancaste County feel an earthquake just after midnight?
My husband ran downstairs thinking there was an explosion. I jumped up thinking the same... but we can't see anything outside, or hear sirens of any kind.
Was it an earthquake? Was it thunder? There wasn't any lightening.
Strange.... Should I be worried??
Anyone else feel it/ hear it??
-------------
Edited to add that it has been a confirmed earthquake, with the epicenter in the Landisville/Salunga area.
