Slept right through the earthquake

[fenchurch]

It was only a 4.5 and was centered out on the Olympic Kitsap Peninsula, so it's not surprising that neither of us woke up for it (not to mention it happened around 5:30, when we were likely still *deeply* asleep -- we're definitely not morning people). Looks like nothing got knocked over or askew, which is really saying something considering we have a few rather precarious stacks of CDs/DVDs sitting around.

Edited to correct the location -- thanks dolphinchatter!

That's the second tremblor of significance in the past two days.

I bet it's the Redoubt Volcano activity that's stirring this up.

Check those emergency supplies!

I've seen estimates that the shock wave from one of the big mortar shells at the Fort is around 5.2, and I know damned well that a Chinook overflying my house is around a 6, so it's no wonder I slept through it.

Sorry, too, because I think small-but-perceptable earthquakes are cool.

Julia, they stop being cool when things start falling off the shelves

Redoubt isn't even on the same plate and there are ten to fifteen 4-5 earthquakes somewhere in the world every day. Please to be checking out the recent earthquakes map (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/index.php?old=world.html).

Julia, possibly stepping on an in joke, but, really, so not significant

I talked to the Secretary at my son's school and she felt it. I slept through it, too!

Actually it was centered on the Kitsap Peninsula, about two miles from my old home in Indianola.

I didn't feel a thing here in Port Orchard.

Hm, I was awake and I didn't feel a thing. Maybe I'm too near the epicenter.

I felt it, but I was at work. I doubt that it would have woken me up otherwise!

Is this earthquake part of the same thing that's going on with the volcano in Alaska?

[twilightofmagic.livejournal.com]

Apparently it was felt in North Vancouve (BC). I didn't feel anything, thank goodness. They always send your heart racing when you feel one.

I'd have ended up with stuff all over the place.

Glad nothing got broken.

Wow, I've only experienced two earthquakes (not surprising here in the relatively quiet northeast) but they were unsettling.

Glad there was no damage.

This year, our District Boy Scout Klondike Derby is using the 1964 Alaska earthquake as there theme.
