Earthquake

(1/3) > >>

Pat B:
I woke up at 3:30 this morning with our bed shaking. Our dogs started barking so I let them out and looked around to see if a tree fell on the house. We just got 14" of wet, fluffy snow a few days ago(Sunday morning) and by 3am the power was out. We just got power yesterday afternoon at about 4:30. I had to cut a 12" pine off of the driveway yesterday.
 Well, it turns out that there was an 4.0 earthquake in eastern Tennessee. Boy, what a weird sensation. No damage from the quake, thank goodness.  There's never a dull moment here in the Southern Appalachian Mountains.  :OK

BowEd:
That's quite the news Pat.That might have shaken some snow to the ground off the tress....lol.Never been through one of those yet.I imagine with the wide range of members others have been through earthquakes before too.How many miles away was the epicenter of earthquake?

Mesophilic:
Glad to hear you're all ok.

I still remember my first earthquake.  I was stationed in 29 Palms, we drove down to Joshua Tree and stayed up drinking, so spent the night at a buddy's girlfriend's home.   About 3 a.m. it felt like a train was coming through the house.  I jolted awake and asked what the heck that was.  Someone else half asleep said it was an earthquake,  don't worry about it.  Went back to sleep.  Well, around 8 a.m. I had finally processed it  and woke again with a start "earthquake?!"

Personally, after over a decade in Cali, I rather enjoy the smaller ones.

Pat B:
Ed, less than 100 miles as the crow flies. It was east of Knoxville, TN.
I think I have probably felt a few small quakes. There is a fault that runs through Brevard, NC where I live but last night it felt like the dog was scratching leaning against the bed only stronger. Sort of rhythmic. It woke me up and I can sleep through anything.

Hawkdancer:
There were 2 quakes 3.4 & 3.6 near Glenwood Springs yesterday, but no damage and far enough away we didn't really feel them.  Haven't had any on the Front Range for some time!  Don't want any, either
