Not just a herd of stampeding elephants...

If you are paying attention to the news, you might have already confirmed what I felt yesterday afternoon:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KINSHASA, Congo (AP) -- A powerful earthquake has toppled dozens of homes and buried children in rubble in eastern Congo, killing at least two people in a region already beset by chronic violence and grinding poverty.

The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8, struck at 2:20 p.m. (12:20 a.m. GMT) and was centered beneath Lake Tanganyika on the Congo-Tanzania border, about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) southwest of Nairobi, Kenya, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was reported on cnn.com. The epicenter was a fair distance south of us, which shows you how powerful it must have been there if we felt it pretty significantly here.

The excitement never ends here...
