I feel the earth move under me feet....

[Scotty Dog]

...........actually I didnt feel a thing.
At 6:30ish this morn , IT HIT!
A 2.3 quaker shaker!
Seems it was centered somewhere just about right under me rocket room.
I was tooling down RT 91S at 70.67634980452314895644307 mph,oh ......maybe 15 miles south at that time.

Im not sure if I have shaker insurance.

Actually, most people can't feel quakes of less than 3.0 on the Richter scale. And since every whole number is 10 times more powerful than the one below it, it's logarhymic...
That would mean a 2.3 was about ten times too weak to be felt. Roughly.
OR, that you would only feel it it if was directly under you.

When visiting Volcano National Park in Hawaii, there are a bank of such trace recorders, and one for the immediate area.
Kids (and pesty, prankful adults) love to stomp or jump upon the floor and watch the needle bounce... then tap the people next to them and say "WOW, it's erupting!"
We used to do the same thing at the Griffith Observatory in Hollywood, CA except there was no volcano involved.:grin:

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 2.3-magnitude earthquake struck at 6:32 a.m. Tuesday in the area of Woodsville.

Haverhill Police Chief Byron Charles Jr. said the department received calls from startled residents shortly after the earthquake hit.

"They said it sounded like an explosion," Charles said. "There was some shaking of buildings here."

Charles said there were no reports of injuries or damage.

"An earthquake of this size is not expected to cause any damage, unless it's something ( like a rocket) hanging very precariously on a shelf that got pushed over, but that's about it. But it was felt," said Justin Starr of the Weston Observatory at Boston College.

Starr said there do not appear to have been any aftershocks since the event.

I heard about it on the Channel 3 News tonight. Apparently some of us Vermonters felt it too.
When I was a Kid we lived in Waitsfeild, VT. Once we had an Earthquake, and it made our Woodstove make a Ringing sound like a Bell being Vibrated. Also, while the sound was happening, I was in the Kitchen, and a 2 Liter Bottle of Soda began to have waves back and forth in it.

ROFL, in California we wouldn't even notice. 2.3 is when a big truck drives by. I was on the Cypress Fwy an hour before the big one hit in '89. Had just dropped two friends off at the BART Station in Oakland and headed home, passing through the Caldicott Tunnel, and just as I emerged the other side the quake hit. My truck's rear end felt like it was fishtailing and I watched all the other cars on the freeway pulling to the side of the road, while I kept going. The World Series broadcast on the radio had just cut out and when it came back on was when I realized it was a big one and a part of the Bay Bridge had fallen into the Bay.

So if you want to be excited about a real earthquake and not a tremor, come out to California. 2.3 :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Idaho recorded one of the biggest quakes recorded in the States, 8.6. It was in a very remote area at the base of Mt. Borah. It woke me up with a large rolling motion that cracked a huge monolithic slab of reinforced concrete that makes up our back porch. My boss was downtown where he could see the Boise Cascade building swaying 4 feet. It sits up on 4 huge pillars 30 feet above street level and another 5 stories above that and it's a block square. He said within 2 minutes the doors were open and people were streaming out of the building in a great crowd, emptying it

There was 2 fatalities, 2 little kids on their way to school got frightened and ducked under a 100 year old stone facade that came down, very sad.

When was this Idaho quake, Dave?
