Whole lotta shaking going on.

I request that my friends in California and other places that get *real* earthwquakes refrain from laughing.

A bit ago the local news reported an earthquake here in Portland. A 2.1 quake.

Wha...? 2.1? How could anyone even notice that?

--g, up in Seattle where it usually takes something over 5.8 before we really pay attention

We don't have earthquakes often, here, but they save up and make the result spectacular. The New Madrid fault is only a couple hundred miles west of where I live.

Portland is different that way. Aparently there were three or four over a span of a few hours. The "big" one was centered under Ladd's Addition.

We had six of those yesterday.

Hey, that's California. This is Portland.

I recall feeling the "Spring Break Quake" back in 92 or 93. First damaging quake in the area in many decades.

I felt the chair "sway" a bit. And given how far the epicenter for that one was, I doubt it was any stronger where I was than that 2.1 was in areas near it.
