Last night during the earthquake I completely freaked. My house shook three times and I heard three "Boom" noises. I started to scream and I ran outside in shorts and a t-shirt. At first, I thought it was a big truck or something crashing into the house because my parents and grandfather ran outside. Then when I went back inside I waited for my parents to come inside. My dad said it was probably a stick of dynamite being blown up at a shooting range near my house. Then my mom called our neighbors and their power was knocked out. Later on we found out that it was an earthquake. My dad, my siblings and I had experienced our first earthquake ever.

I was for once in my life doing homework without my mom telling me to and then it was all quiet execpt my t.v in the living room. All of the sudden everything starts shaking and there is a really loud noise I start freaking out thinking either something is happening in my dads room, a plane crashed in our backyard, a MAJOR car crash happend our furnace was blowing up, or it was seriously the end of the world and I was gonna die! My mom dad and brother and dog and cats started freaking out and i grabbed two of my cats and ran outside and my mom grabbed another one of our cats and my dog followed us outside. By the time we got outside it was just about over My cats were shaking my dog was whining and I was freaking out and we heard all of our neighbors outside screaming and some even crying and yelling what was that! Then our phone rang it was my grandmother she asked if we felt that! She lives 30 minutes away from us! Then We went inside and picked up everything that broke or fell and I checked facebook....and yup there was a 4.5 earthquake!
I was on my bed (which is the top bunk on a bunk bed) playing on my Nintendo DS and I heard a rumbling sound and I thought it was a truck starting up. Then I felt the rumbling and I thought to myself "How big is that truck?" After it was over, my mom called me to her and told me it was an earthquake. My younger sister told me if it were a big earthquake I would have died. Then I started freaking out on her, attacking her and she wouldn't stop saying that and it was annoying! My mom looked on facebook and all her friends started posting about it, even my aunt and uncle in Massachusetts! Earthquakes in New England don't happen very often. The rating was 4.6.
Earthquakes don't happen very often in new england. The rating for the earthquake last night was 4.6. I was watching epic fails on youtube and then my house started shaking and i thought it was going to cave in my dad ran down stairs to check on my sister and she was fine. NOTHING can distract her from the t.v. Meanwhile i was upstairs and my dog was really scared so she sat in my lap and then she pooped on me which by the way is really gross!!!!
i was watching 'nightmare before Christmas' and just as it ended, the whole house started shaking and some things fell off the shelves. my dad was woken up from a dead sleep, woke up and ran downstairs thinking the boiler had exploded. My grandfather called us and said he ran right out of his house :) my dog (6 moth old puppy) was running around barking......not sure what my cat did........I was sitting on the couch, Practically dead to the world for the 7 seconds it happened!:D it was a 4.6, and earthquakes don't normally happen in new England. that was a pretty big earthquake for Maine!!
Last night when the earth quake struck all i could here was the loud, obnoxious noise, and it felt as if our wood fernise was going to explode. All I could think was get.out.NOW. Once it ended everyone carried on with there night time duties. Earth quakes don't happen very often in New England. The rating on the one last night said 4.5.
my little brother and i were watching tv and we felt the floor shaking and then we heard rumbling and first we thought it was the bulldozer behind our house crashing into our house and then we thought the furnis blew up so my dad made us go outside while he went down in our basement to see if the furnis exploded but it didn't and then we found out that it was an earthquake after my mom called from portland and asked if we felt the earthquake and then my little brother started crying . It felt like my house was gonna explode and it sounded like a valcano erupting . It was 4.6.
I was watching tv when all of a sudden I hear a rumble and I thought it was our washer because sometimes it makes low rumbles and the house starts to shake and it took me a second to figure out it was an earthquake!Earthquakes occur sometimes.
DON"T LAUGH!!!Ok it all started when I was playing with my brother. then mom screamed at me and told me to get in the shower.So I did. so i put the shampoo in my hair and then the house stared to shake, and mom stared to run, I got shampoo in my eyes, and mom screams at me, so i got out. and mom panicking and I'm like it's an earthquake. so everyone calls and it was a big mess.
When we got home some things were scattered around. I never felt it.It was a 4.8 magnitude I think. Earthquakes don't happen very often in New England though.
I was doing the dishes when the house started shaking and at first I thought my parents were really mad or something the my dad came running into the kitchen and I realised it was an earthquake so i started to grab the counter then my dad had to shove me out of the house because I was panicking and my older brother came running outside.
I was sitting on my couch on my phone, then it started shaking, and my mom started screaming. She thought it was the furnace, the washing machine, or a low flying jet having a crash landing... Earthquakes don't happen often. It was a 4.6 Earthquake.
When the earthquake happened I was eating dinner and it started shaking. At first we thought it was the furnace. Then we thought it was an explosion. The it started vibrating we knew it was an earthquake. They do happen in new england but vary rarely as big as a 4.6
I was just walking up the stairs to get inside (I was visiting my friends house, yes... I do have friends) my house. All of a sudden I hear and felt a large shaking sound, so I just thought that it was the dryer drying the clothes, I didn't think anything of it. I walk i the house and the entire house is shaking so, I think well this can't be the dryer. Then my Mimi starts screaming, "IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." As she is running around the house. There is a 22% chance of getting earthquakes in New England (http://www.bc.edu/research/westonobservatory/northeast/eqprobability.html) The magnitude of the earthquake last night was 4.6.
I was doing homework and everything started shaking. My dad thought the fernice blew up and my sister was freaking out. It sounded like thunder was rolling through the house. At first i thought the house was struck by lightning. I researched it and it was a 4.6 earthquake.
I was sitting on my couch on my phone and watching t.v. with my mom. All of a sudden there was a really loud noise and shaking. My mom screamed for my sister to come down. We all were screaming thinking we were under attack, we wen a little overboard.... Earthquakes are pretty rare in Maine because they don't happen often. The earthquake was a 4.6.
1. I was sitting down in my living room reading then my whole house started to shack and then i ran outside with my dad because we thought the tree in front of my house was falling on my house. Then we learned it was an Earthquake.
2. They occur pretty often bu they are really small.
I heard a lot of rumbling and shaking.My mom was sleeping then all of a sudden the earthquake starts and she jumps out of the bed looking so confused. My older sister was in her room when it happened and she thought she had gone bonkers but after it ended i bolted into her room and started yelling "what was that?!?!?!?!". But my younger sister was sound asleep downstairs and didn't wake up at all when this happened. when it was all over, my little sister woke up and we told her about what had happened. She was so upset that we didn't wake her up. She was like "WHY DIDN'T YO U WAKE ME UP WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED?!?!?!?!!??!!?!!!" Earthquakes can occur almost everyday but they are usually 2.0 earthquakes and cannot be felt. The rating was 4.5
Well... I was watching tv with my dad and then... the house started to shake and my dad thought the furnace was exploding so we grabbed my dog and we ran out-side and waited a minute to recognize that my house did not exploded!!!! I think it was a 4.5
I was suprised and then I started to go ahahahahahahahahahahahahah then my grandpa thought the fernis blow up and the dogs where barking like crazy I just sat there and tried to guess how much that one was and I guessed wrong I thought it was a 4 or 5 but it was a 4.5
1.last night I was playing my play station when my whole house started to shake. my brother was lying on the ground because it knocked him over. my turtles almost fell over.
I was in the car at plummers when the earth quake happened I just had come from dance and I was in the car well my mom ran in to get food and it just started to rumble for like 15 seconds or so and then everything just started to shack and it felt the the car was gonna roll away it was very scary being in a car...Then I got home and almost all the pictures had fallen off my wall and everything was knocked over and my dogs were still going crazy when I got home. I wonder when we are gonna get the after shock :/
Last night during the earth quake my whole house shook. Some of the lights flickered, and my dog Gabby at first was standing still and then she kept flopping all over the place then my other dog Rocko was standing on the couch then face planted into the floor (rug). I even slipped and hit my head off of the kitchen chair. My dad came running up the stairs thinking an airplane had crashed, and of course he was watching a show about what had happened in china with the sunami and everything.
I was eating dinner and watching TV when the house started to shake. I knew right away what it was and I was just thinking the whole time "cool!" They occur here and there but you barely ever feel them. The rating was 4.6 for the earthquake.
I was eating dinner and then all of a sudden everything starts to vibrate and so my dad told me to go down stairs while they went outside and found out what it was and I was just standing there hoping the house wouldn't fall on me! the rating was 4.5. And it doesn't happen a lot in New England.
1.I saw that the table and tv where staring to shake. I was going down the stairs to get ready for bed when i felt shaking i lost my steeping, did a flip, and landed on my head. My mom and dad where finishing up there dinner when this happened. They were telling my brother and I to get in the car. My two little sister where at the church. My friends where working at the church and then they ended up falling down the stairs. But they didn't do a flip like i did. We are all o.k. But I cannot believe that my arm or leg is broken I took a really tough fall. But yet I still have a head ache today. What was also not fun is that my brother stabbed his tounge with a fork. MY two sisters are fine. By the way, when my sisters where at our church and the earth quake happened all the kids fell out of there chair. After it stopped shaking, my dad ran outside to make sure everyone was o.k. I was screaming and crying. Then we had to rush and pick up all the kids that where at the church. Our car was full. I didn't get any sleep last night. But I am still happy. But I did not sleep last night because I was worried it was going to happen again.
2.I think that occur in New England on a regular basis. Because we do have mini earth quakes every once in a while.
3.Online it said that the rating was 4.6- 4.7 last night.
1). I was finishing my homework when I heard a boom sound. I fell and all my papers stayed in order. My dad ran down stairs to check if the furnus blew up.I saw the house shake and move.
Last night I didn't even here or feel the earthquake! I was in my truck driving home from football practice but my mom called my dad and she thought that our furnace blew up or something like that. So when we got home my mom said that the house was shaking and that my dog and cat went crazy! She also said that it came on instantly but slowly ended. The rating was4.5!
I was down stairs in my grandparents house and telling my grandfather what happened at school yesterday and then I heard something really loud. My grandfather jumped up and ran into the boiler room ( which is where our furnace is) and then he came running back out and when he came out it was like the middle of the earthquake and a picture that was hanging on the wall fell and it almost hit my head and then I bent into a armadillo position and the picture fell onto my back. I didn't shatter though it just fell like softly but it still hurt. Then I went under the door frame and waited until the earthquake was done.
Earthquakes come and go very often, but only some of them are big enough that we feel them.
Oh yeah and my dog keno had a crazy look on his face and ran around the house like really fast. He ran into the table and that is when he just sat down and waited for it to be done.
i was in my room doing home work no i was playing xbox and then it happend so my mom ran down the stars and well fell down them and yeah thats what happend
1. Last night it was kind of scary. I was home by my self with my sister when it happened my mom was walking through the door when it happened. We had just gotten a new fridge that didn't work so well so I thought that the fridge had fallen. But when I heard the second boom I knew it was an earthquake my mother started to cry because she was scared and my dad was atthe high school so she was worried because that school isn't very sturdy and the class he was in has holes in the wall. she was even more scared because she couldn't contact anyone because all of the phones were broken. It was kind of scary but I was o.k. after and so was my sister and my mom.
2. Earthquakes in New England, most likely happen once in a while but they are small. the big ones probably happen every 5 or so years. That was the first one I've ever had in Maine that's big.
3. The news recorded it as 4.6 but this morning they said that it wasn't as strong so it was changed to 4.0
well i was on my bed on the computer and all of a sudden i heard this loud crash then the house was shaking after the loud crash there was a sound like a vibarting sound the whole time i was under my bed beacuse that was the only thing i could do so i thought it was a bomb,probany truck or a plane crash right in front of my yard i was so scared i got on to facebook to see is all me friends were o.k they were o.k but there was another one at 11:00 last night so i just went to bed at 10:30 so i did not have to listen to it. it was a 4.5 and don't know the rest your welcome
Last night I heard and felt the earthquake! I was in my house lying on the floor waiting for my mom to come home. I was almost asleep when it happened I was up of the floor in about 2 seconds flat. We had thought that there was a plane crash or an explosion.My family ran outside to see what had happened and we heard our next door neibors yell to us asking if we had felt it. we had said we did but we didn't know what it was.Me my dad my sister and her boyfriend went outside to see what had happened.We went over to my neibors house to see if they were okay that's when my friends brother's friend said that it was an earthquake.That's when we tried to call the Buxton dispatch to tell them that everyone here is okay but my Dad couldn't get through to them so that's when my dad called my brother he didn't get through to him. He said he must be sleeping but my only question was how could he sleep through it when he live near Hollis Center.Then about ten minutes after we got back home my Mom called saying she was heading home cause class got out late cause of the earthquake.About twenty minutes later my Mom got home,and my dad got through to the dispatch.

My mom dad and brother and dog and cats started freaking out and i grabbed two of my cats and ran outside and my mom grabbed another one of our cats and my dog followed us outside. By the time we got outside it was just about over My cats were shaking my dog was whining and I was freaking out and we heard all of our neighbors outside screaming and some even crying and yelling what was that! Then our phone rang it was my grandmother she asked if we felt that! She lives 30 minutes away from us! Then We went inside and picked up everything that broke or fell and I checked facebook....and yup there was a 4.5 earthquake!
I was on my bed (which is the top bunk on a bunk bed) playing on my Nintendo DS and I heard a rumbling sound and I thought it was a truck starting up. Then I felt the rumbling and I thought to myself "How big is that truck?" After it was over, my mom called me to her and told me it was an earthquake. My younger sister told me if it were a big earthquake I would have died. Then I started freaking out on her, attacking her and she wouldn't stop saying that and it was annoying! My mom looked on facebook and all her friends started posting about it, even my aunt and uncle in Massachusetts!
Earthquakes in New England don't happen very often.
The rating was 4.6.
that is a very detailed comment
Earthquakes don't happen very often in new england. The rating for the earthquake last night was 4.6. I was watching epic fails on youtube and then my house started shaking and i thought it was going to cave in my dad ran down stairs to check on my sister and she was fine. NOTHING can distract her from the t.v. Meanwhile i was upstairs and my dog was really scared so she sat in my lap and then she pooped on me which by the way is really gross!!!!
YES YES IT WAS (THERE WASN'T MUCH TO DESCRIBE)
i was watching 'nightmare before Christmas' and just as it ended, the whole house started shaking and some things fell off the shelves. my dad was woken up from a dead sleep, woke up and ran downstairs thinking the boiler had exploded. My grandfather called us and said he ran right out of his house :) my dog (6 moth old puppy) was running around barking......not sure what my cat did........I was sitting on the couch, Practically dead to the world for the 7 seconds it happened!:D
it was a 4.6, and earthquakes don't normally happen in new England. that was a pretty big earthquake for Maine!!
Last night when the earth quake struck all i could here was the loud, obnoxious noise, and it felt as if our wood fernise was going to explode. All I could think was get.out.NOW. Once it ended everyone carried on with there night time duties. Earth quakes don't happen very often in New England.
The rating on the one last night said 4.5.
my little brother and i were watching tv and we felt the floor shaking and then we heard rumbling and first we thought it was the bulldozer behind our house crashing into our house and then we thought the furnis blew up so my dad made us go outside while he went down in our basement to see if the furnis exploded but it didn't and then we found out that it was an earthquake after my mom called from portland and asked if we felt the earthquake and then my little brother started crying . It felt like my house was gonna explode and it sounded like a valcano erupting . It was 4.6.
i over reacted :)
I was watching tv when all of a sudden I hear a rumble and I thought it was our washer because sometimes it makes low rumbles and the house starts to shake and it took me a second to figure out it was an earthquake!Earthquakes occur sometimes.
DON"T LAUGH!!!Ok it all started when I was playing with my brother. then mom screamed at me and told me to get in the shower.So I did. so i put the shampoo in my hair and then the house stared to shake, and mom stared to run, I got shampoo in my eyes, and mom screams at me, so i got out. and mom panicking and I'm like it's an earthquake. so everyone calls and it was a big mess.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
im laughing!!!!!!!!
When we got home some things were scattered around. I never felt it.It was a 4.8 magnitude I think. Earthquakes don't happen very often in New England though.
I was doing the dishes when the house started shaking and at first I thought my parents were really mad or something the my dad came running into the kitchen and I realised it was an earthquake so i started to grab the counter then my dad had to shove me out of the house because I was panicking and my older brother came running outside.
I was sitting on my couch on my phone, then it started shaking, and my mom started screaming. She thought it was the furnace, the washing machine, or a low flying jet having a crash landing...
Earthquakes don't happen often.
It was a 4.6 Earthquake.
When the earthquake happened I was eating dinner and it started shaking. At first we thought it was the furnace. Then we thought it was an explosion.
The it started vibrating we knew it was an earthquake. They do happen in new england but vary rarely as big as a 4.6
I heard glass smashing and a loud rumbling sound, And I feel down my stairs. Earthquakes happen rarely in new england and the rating was 4.6.
my friend was next to me we were playing wanted weapons of fate and his tralor shook.
I was just walking up the stairs to get inside (I was visiting my friends house, yes... I do have friends) my house. All of a sudden I hear and felt a large shaking sound, so I just thought that it was the dryer drying the clothes, I didn't think anything of it. I walk i the house and the entire house is shaking so, I think well this can't be the dryer. Then my Mimi starts screaming, "IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." As she is running around the house. There is a 22% chance of getting earthquakes in New England (http://www.bc.edu/research/westonobservatory/northeast/eqprobability.html)
The magnitude of the earthquake last night was 4.6.
I felt my house shaking and heard a rumbling. The rating was 4.6, earthquakes rarely happen in new England.
I was doing homework and everything started shaking. My dad thought the fernice blew up and my sister was freaking out. It sounded like thunder was rolling through the house. At first i thought the house was struck by lightning. I researched it and it was a 4.6 earthquake.
I was sitting on my couch on my phone and watching t.v. with my mom. All of a sudden there was a really loud noise and shaking. My mom screamed for my sister to come down. We all were screaming thinking we were under attack, we wen a little overboard.... Earthquakes are pretty rare in Maine because they don't happen often. The earthquake was a 4.6.
my dad and sister were in hanaford and my mom thought the boiler was broken and i got a free masoge
1. I saw that my chair moved and that ten minutes before it happened my dog was flipping out and he wanted to be close to us.
2. They occur on a regular basis in New England I think.
3. The rating pointing thingy was a 4.6 or 4.7 I think.
The earthquake last night was very loud but not that strong.
It was a 4.6 scale earthquake.
I don't think earthquakes occur that much in New England.
1. I was sitting down in my living room reading then my whole house started to shack and then i ran outside with my dad because we thought the tree in front of my house was falling on my house. Then we learned it was an Earthquake.
2. They occur pretty often bu they are really small.
3. a 4.6 magnitude.
I heard a lot of rumbling and shaking.My mom was sleeping then all of a sudden the earthquake starts and she jumps out of the bed looking so confused. My older sister was in her room when it happened and she thought she had gone bonkers but after it ended i bolted into her room and started yelling "what was that?!?!?!?!". But my younger sister was sound asleep downstairs and didn't wake up at all when this happened. when it was all over, my little sister woke up and we told her about what had happened. She was so upset that we didn't wake her up. She was like "WHY DIDN'T YO U WAKE ME UP WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED?!?!?!?!!??!!?!!!"
Earthquakes can occur almost everyday but they are usually 2.0 earthquakes and cannot be felt.
The rating was 4.5
Well... I was watching tv with my dad and then... the house started to shake and my dad thought the furnace was exploding so we grabbed my dog and we ran out-side and waited a minute to recognize that my house did not exploded!!!! I think it was a 4.5

1.last night I was playing my play station when my whole house started to shake. my brother was lying on the ground because it knocked him over. my turtles almost fell over.
2.They sometimes happen but not much.
3. 4.8 at my house.
I was in the car at plummers when the earth quake happened I just had come from dance and I was in the car well my mom ran in to get food and it just started to rumble for like 15 seconds or so and then everything just started to shack and it felt the the car was gonna roll away it was very scary being in a car...Then I got home and almost all the pictures had fallen off my wall and everything was knocked over and my dogs were still going crazy when I got home. I wonder when we are gonna get the after shock :/
Last night during the earth quake my whole house shook. Some of the lights flickered, and my dog Gabby at first was standing still and then she kept flopping all over the place then my other dog Rocko was standing on the couch then face planted into the floor (rug). I even slipped and hit my head off of the kitchen chair. My dad came running up the stairs thinking an airplane had crashed, and of course he was watching a show about what had happened in china with the sunami and everything.
I was eating dinner and watching TV when the house started to shake. I knew right away what it was and I was just thinking the whole time "cool!"
They occur here and there but you barely ever feel them.
The rating was 4.6 for the earthquake.
i was at a beef meating in gorham at their town hall and thought it was one of the doors for a fire truck opening. raitin 4.6
I was eating dinner and then all of a sudden everything starts to vibrate and so my dad told me to go down stairs while they went outside and found out what it was and I was just standing there hoping the house wouldn't fall on me! the rating was 4.5. And it doesn't happen a lot in New England.
1.I saw that the table and tv where staring to shake. I was going down the stairs to get ready for bed when i felt shaking i lost my steeping, did a flip, and landed on my head. My mom and dad where finishing up there dinner when this happened. They were telling my brother and I to get in the car. My two little sister where at the church. My friends where working at the church and then they ended up falling down the stairs. But they didn't do a flip like i did. We are all o.k. But I cannot believe that my arm or leg is broken I took a really tough fall. But yet I still have a head ache today. What was also not fun is that my brother stabbed his tounge with a fork. MY two sisters are fine. By the way, when my sisters where at our church and the earth quake happened all the kids fell out of there chair. After it stopped shaking, my dad ran outside to make sure everyone was o.k. I was screaming and crying. Then we had to rush and pick up all the kids that where at the church. Our car was full. I didn't get any sleep last night. But I am still happy. But I did not sleep last night because I was worried it was going to happen again.
2.I think that occur in New England on a regular basis. Because we do have mini earth quakes every once in a while.
3.Online it said that the rating was 4.6- 4.7 last night.
1). I was finishing my homework when I heard a boom sound. I fell and all my papers stayed in order. My dad ran down stairs to check if the furnus blew up.I saw the house shake and move.
2). An earth quake happens rarely in Maine.
3). The rating was 4.5-4.6.
Last night I didn't even here or feel the earthquake! I was in my truck driving home from football practice but my mom called my dad and she thought that our furnace blew up or something like that. So when we got home my mom said that the house was shaking and that my dog and cat went crazy! She also said that it came on instantly but slowly ended. The rating was4.5!
stinks to be you NATE
I was down stairs in my grandparents house and telling my grandfather what happened at school yesterday and then I heard something really loud. My grandfather jumped up and ran into the boiler room ( which is where our furnace is) and then he came running back out and when he came out it was like the middle of the earthquake and a picture that was hanging on the wall fell and it almost hit my head and then I bent into a armadillo position and the picture fell onto my back. I didn't shatter though it just fell like softly but it still hurt. Then I went under the door frame and waited until the earthquake was done.
Earthquakes come and go very often, but only some of them are big enough that we feel them.
It was in the range of 4.0-4.6
Oh yeah and my dog keno had a crazy look on his face and ran around the house like really fast. He ran into the table and that is when he just sat down and waited for it to be done.
i was in my room doing home work no i was playing xbox and then it happend so my mom ran down the stars and well fell down them and yeah thats what happend
I had just put my dog in his kennel then the whole house started to shake. My mom thought the furnise blew up.
1. Last night it was kind of scary. I was home by my self with my sister when it happened my mom was walking through the door when it happened. We had just gotten a new fridge that didn't work so well so I thought that the fridge had fallen. But when I heard the second boom I knew it was an earthquake my mother started to cry because she was scared and my dad was atthe high school so she was worried because that school isn't very sturdy and the class he was in has holes in the wall. she was even more scared because she couldn't contact anyone because all of the phones were broken. It was kind of scary but I was o.k. after and so was my sister and my mom.
2. Earthquakes in New England, most likely happen once in a while but they are small. the big ones probably happen every 5 or so years. That was the first one I've ever had in Maine that's big.
3. The news recorded it as 4.6 but this morning they said that it wasn't as strong so it was changed to 4.0
well i was on my bed on the computer and all of a sudden i heard this loud crash then the house was shaking after the loud crash there was a sound like a vibarting sound the whole time i was under my bed beacuse that was the only thing i could do so i thought it was a bomb,probany truck or a plane crash right in front of my yard i was so scared i got on to facebook to see is all me friends were o.k they were o.k but there was another one at 11:00 last night so i just went to bed at 10:30 so i did not have to listen to it. it was a 4.5 and don't know the rest your welcome
Last night I heard and felt the earthquake! I was in my house lying on the floor waiting for my mom to come home. I was almost asleep when it happened I was up of the floor in about 2 seconds flat. We had thought that there was a plane crash or an explosion.My family ran outside to see what had happened and we heard our next door neibors yell to us asking if we had felt it. we had said we did but we didn't know what it was.Me my dad my sister and her boyfriend went outside to see what had happened.We went over to my neibors house to see if they were okay that's when my friends brother's friend said that it was an earthquake.That's when we tried to call the Buxton dispatch to tell them that everyone here is okay but my Dad couldn't get through to them so that's when my dad called my brother he didn't get through to him. He said he must be sleeping but my only question was how could he sleep through it when he live near Hollis Center.Then about ten minutes after we got back home my Mom called saying she was heading home cause class got out late cause of the earthquake.About twenty minutes later my Mom got home,and my dad got through to the dispatch.
2) Earthquakes rarely happen in Maine.
3) The earthquake rating was 4.5
