Another earthquake...

We just had another earthquake! It looks like it registered 5.2 and was located off the coast of El Salvador. I was in the Peace Corps office when it happened and the other volunteer and I ran outside when we realized what was happening. But I don't think there was any (or at least just a little) damage. You can get more information at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsww/Quakes/usfpab.htm.

Fellow PCV Tara sent me a text message that read, "I just felt my first earthquake!" So I responded, giving her all of the data I found online and telling her that it was pretty strong, when she replied to me, "I know. The dogs are going crazy. I heard the rats running above me and then felt my bed shaking and I thought the rats were on my bed! But then I realized it couldn't be rats causing all the commotion!" That made me laugh pretty hard; the image of Tara thinking rats were (A) in her bed with her and (B) causing the bed to shake uncontrollably.
