USGS details

Yikes - that was a doozy - the epicenter was about 2 miles from my house. One very load noise, and a good short hard rattle, followed by the sound you really don't want to hear - crashing and breaking glass from upstairs. Uh oh.

The kitchen reeks of vinegar (and it was nice vinegar too ) - several bottles came flying out of the cupboards and landed all over the the floor in pieces. A bunch of heavy things fell off shelves (including my camera bag with a couple of big lenses ), but it doesn't look like anything is broken.

Whew. I never get used to them - especially the ones that wake you from a dead sleep. There have been several nearby on the last few years, but this is definitely the strongest I've felt in a while.

Rats. And now I'm wide awake a good 2 hours earlier than planned.

Everyone else in the area OK?
