Earthquakes Shake Dallas

I move to California from my hometown and look what happens?!

Quote:
DALLAS (AP) - Two minor earthquakes have shaken the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but no significant damage has immediately been reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a 2.5 magnitude was reported at 11:25 p.m. Thursday, centered in the Grand Prairie area.
The agency says a slightly stronger quake, at 3.0 magnitude, occurred at 12:01 a.m. Friday, centered in Irving about 10 miles west of Dallas.
USGS geophysicist Randy Baldwin says aftershocks could last several days.
Law enforcement agencies across northern Texas say they received some 911 calls from people who had felt the quakes.
An April 7 earthquake in southern Texas had a 3.7 magnitude.

12:01? Yes was engaged in "activity" at the time. So do I get the credit?

2.5/3.0? I'd have just thought a truck drove by.

I usually don't notice anything under a 3.5 unless I'm sitting on the epicenter.
We have 2.5s and 3s almost every week here but they pretty much go un-noticed.
A 5 gets my attention tho.

Man, that was a wild ride! I thought the whole house was going to come down.

What does it take to get your full attention? A 7.5 or so? I figured it for something else.
