MIKE MOSS SAYS:      Mary,      I'm afraid I can't decipher with certainty exactly where you were when this occurred (on a bridge on Santa Fe Drive across the All-American freeway in Fayetteville is my best guess), but you can check recent earthquake history for anywhere the U.S. and the world at the address below.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/index.php

The maps have earthquakes from the past 7 days marked, and there is a link along the left side of the page for quakes from the past 8-30 days.

If you were in Fayetteville, there doesn't appear to have been any activity close enough during either of those periods to explain the movement of your car. Could it have been a strong gust of wind, or perhaps a couple of blast concussions from nearby construction or training at Fort Bragg?
