3.7 magnitude rocks Helena

As I lay in bed awake at 12:52 am - after rocking a baby back to sleep - I started to feel rumbling build up from under me and then the whole house moving and shaking. I looked over to see my bedroom door burst open....and I thought to myself I think there was just an earthquake.

JD was in the basement playing Call of Duty (he now works the night shift so it's not uncommon for him to be awake in the middle of he night.) When the rumbling started JD thought it sounded like someone was pushing the dinning room table across the floor above him then the sound of his game was drowned out by what sounded like a train. When JD ran upstairs he found closed bedroom doors still swinging open and a bewildered look on my face.

We both agreed that we were glad to have been awake in the middle of the night to feel the earth move. In the midst of our early morning excitement, Addie lay fast asleep.
