Lancaster County - An earthquake rocked parts of the midstate overnight.

It happened at 12:04 Saturday morning and was centered just three miles south of Manheim, Lancaster County. 

The quake measured a 3.4 on the scale.  It was felt up to 60 miles away from the epi-center, even stretching into Northern Maryland.

So far, there are no reports of any damage.

Even though the quake was centered in Lancaster County, the abc27 newsroom was swamped with calls from people as far away as southern York County, Mechanicsburg, and Shiremanstown who all felt the quake.

The last earthquake recorded in that same area of Lancaster County was in November of 1997.  It measured a 3.0 on the scale.

Just think of all those people that were doin' "the nasty", "horizontal hustle", or whatever you prefer to call it, and the room started shakin' and the ground started movin',  I bet they thought they were gettin' to the good part, imagine the dissapointment when they found out it was only an earthquake.  What a let down.
  

Now that's just downright funny.
