Glad you two (and all) are okay!

Felt two, quick heavy jolts out here in the hinterlands of Westmoreland County. Husband felt it at his workplace in New Stanton; one son is home from HS and the light standards swayed, classroom tvs shook.

I’m off on Tuesdays and our dog is upset. He yelped in the moments BEFORE I felt the first ‘pop’ then the second (rocked under our feet). He is either not over it, or spooked that something else is up.

Glad you’re ok, PA Mom.

I’ve heard that dogs can “sense” these sort of events.

That's kinda what I was trying to say. There wasn't one but two jolts and a rolling. The first one and then a rolling and then a much stronger jolt with more rolling. The floor was moving when I walked. Not bad but noticeable.

The lamps and shades moved and the plants on their hooks on the balcony were swaying.

We have a DVD stand that always falls over but it didn't. Maybe it was because the floor was moving ...hmmm...kinda east and west instead of north and south. If had been the other way it would have fallen.

One of our youngest son's friends lives nearby and has a 47 inch TV that came with a earthquake safety wire that he never put on.
