You Can Really Feel the Local Ones
July 20th, 2005
Tonight there was a small quake, but from the moment I felt it, I knew the epicenter was close. And sure enough, the epicenter was less than 10 km away from where I live. You can feel it from the direction of the quake: if it feels like it’s jumping straight up and down, it’s local.
I might be wrong, but that’s how it’s always felt to me. I guessed tonight, and I guessed right.
By the way, it was a 3.6 on the Richter scale, at 9:14 pm, 60 km below the surface. Felt it here as a noise rattle and then a bump, all quick.
