That was neat, if brief

[solarbird]

I think we just had a tiny earthquake. That's the first one I've felt - if it was one - in, gosh, a couple of years. (It was really little. A couple of books tipped and a stack of mail fell over, and there was just a little rattling.) I kind of thought it was a large truck going by before I remembered, "oh wait, we live at the end of a dead end street now." I went and checked for a large truck anyway, but there wasn't anything out there.

Entire duration was five or six seconds, intensity felt kinda like this: .:::....

Time was 12:50pm, plus or minus a couple of minutes. Nothing on the USGS website yet, but it hasn't updated in a while.

In other news, today is much better from an allergy standpoint. Far from perfect, but definitely better. I've also vacuumed and done a lot of housework stuff. And we ended up walking a bit getting around the U. District for Mimi's birthday dinner and movie, so I've got some to log on that front, too. Yay!

Sunday's miles: 1.4
Miles out of Hobbiton: 246.35
Miles to Rivendell: 210.95

I felt this one (http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/pnw/STORE/X6251349_05/ciim_display.html) in Portland this weekend. Yay.

Heyyy! I was down and the bank right about then and I thought the same thing.

Coooool. Report it? There's a form off that page I linked to.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Done.

That's funny, cuz I thought I felt one last night. I knew at the time I probably wasn't, but still it crossed my mind.

I can't help validate what you felt today though, - I was napping at the time :P Darn!

mayhaps you should report it?

what's funny is that with all the ones that have shaken around here, I've never felt a one... :-\

Hmm, still nothing on any of the news sites... maybe it was a really, really small one?

YAY for allergies improving. That stuff can be miserable...

[solarbird]

Clearly. Probably <1.0, since those don't show up on their web site.

Might have been a Sonic Boom. The high atmospheric ones tend to feel like that.

[solarbird]

Ooo. That'd be neat. If something flew overhead towards the southeast... hm!

Well don't forget that they have that new pulse jet and back in the early 90's the test flights took it over Portland/Seattle a number of times. Odds are it's running a lot more regularly now. Probably still based out of Edwards or maybe the Ranch (Area 51), I suspect once it goes public they'll move it to the 9 SRW in Marysville.

An acquaintance reported one in Tahoe as well.

The ring of fire is getting to be a bit active. I think we'll all know if New Madrid gets the hiccups. :-/
