Terry:

Glad it wasn't worse, quakes in your neck of the woods can be real 
ripsnorters, largley because there are NO real fault zones. Check out the 
"New Madrid" earthquake around 1811-12 I think but I don't remember the date 
for sure. It was BAD, a very VERY bad quake in the 9+ richter scale range 
BAD. It was so bad because it was the limestone bedrock rebounding after 
losing the weight from the last ice age.

At 4.3 you shouldn't've suffered any serious damage, maybe something fell 
off a shelf but nothing structural at all. Regardless they're quite the rush 
aren't they?
