Another earthquake!

Just had an earthquake about fifteen minutes ago...pretty good shaker. According to the USGS map, it's about a 5.7 and also according to the map we've had about six of them in the past hour. That was the most noticeable one.
I have a 'Wind Diva' decoration that hangs in my room. It's one of those twisted plastic things with a piece of wire wrapped in the opposite direction. It hangs from my ceiling and acts as my 'earthquake detector'. It was moving a little but I also have my window open so I kind of paused and then a big thump happened and it barely moved. The problem is, it's hung on stretchy cord. Acts as a shock absorber so I'm going to have to get a piece of fishing line to hang it to get a better indication.
Whew.... that's all we need!
