The point of where it happened was 30 miles from me, i was scared crapless lol, never experienced one before...

Is 4.7 on the rictor scale like bad then?

My house shook and a few pictures fell off the walls.. but nothing major.

That's scary. Can't even imagine what it's like to go through an earthquake.
Hope everyone and all the fishies are ok!
