I felt the EARTHQUAKE we had last Friday!
|
I felt the EARTHQUAKE we had last Friday! I felt it while sleeping in a bed. I was somehow awake, and noticed the movement, and heard the sound of part of the house creaking or cracking (the window, I think). It felt "small" by comparison with some I've been in. I stayed awake long enough to feel it diminish. I figured it wasn't going to be terribly huge, and hoped it wasn't a tremor before a bigger quake. Reports said it was 4.5 or 4.6 magnitude on the Richter Scale. The news said it was around 5:25AM. (I noticed that it was around 5:30.) It was centered 14 miles NW of Seattle, in Kitsap County, near Kingston, at a depth of about 36 miles; and lasted for under a minute. It was "the largest in Washington since a 4.6 in October 2006 near Mount Rainier". Pacific Northwest Seismic Network "director John Vidale said the quake was from the same general source as the 6.8 magnitude Nisqually earthquake on Feb. 28, 2001". That quake caused a lot of damage, and got Seattle to seriously look at spending billions to replace a large, long viaduct that goes along nearly the entire waterfront of downtown Seattle.

Gosh! That would really be scarey for me. I have been in Alaska when they had minor earth trembles but they were nothing. A large earthquake would be frightening. GBY! May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE
