CC, when the Nisqually Quake hit, 6.8 on the Richter scale,
INSIDE the building we heard quite a bit. EVERYTHING was rattling... I didn't hear the floor cracking open, there was too much other background noise.. sort of the noise you'd hear on a train going down the tracks...

I was in a 6.5 a couple years ago at christmas time. Lucky only 1 death but ton's of damage. We were lucky and only lost a german santa clause off the fireplace. Funny I was on my bike when it hit. That was weird. Like I was really drunk. Then looked up and saw the phone polls swaying and ran to a dirt road to get away from falling wires. Some lady was screaming like it was the end of the world.

So, I did a google, got this site:

and it's showing TWENTY FIVE wee bitty shakes since the "biggun" last evening.

Seems your area has a case of the hiccups!

This last one was too small trek - it felt like someone gave my chair a hard bump. No rolling, no shaking, just a bump.
