I just felt an earthquake and checked the USGS. Sure enough:
Strength: 5.1
Time: 2017-11-30 21:47:30 (UTC)
Location: 39.184°N 75.378°W
Depth: 8.1 km
Ain’t that fun?
The one a few years ago also had a deep rumbling you could hear.
I didn’t hear anything this time.
Yeah I’ve heard that earthquakes often sound like large vehicles.
Isn’t it a freaky feeling?
Being in Nebraska, it is something I only ever experienced once, and I actually thought I was having some dizziness issues or something. I was sitting down, but everything was moving... This was not that long ago, maybe last summer?
Felt it all the way up in Litchfield County, CT - in an ‘antique’ wood-frame house, on ancient bedrock - lots of rock, rattle, and roll...
The one a few years ago created a large banging when it was happening.
I thought the large transformer outside the office building was moving.
I mean, ‘shake, rattle and roll’...
Yeah it’s definitely strange when things start moving around like that. This was the first one we had since 2011 (which was a big one).
I’m FAR out of this circle, and I “felt” it. Rumble in the air. Wasn’t concerned.
But I heard it at the exact moment the shockwave should have gotten here. I could be wrong, but I think I felt it in Scranton. PA
Got through to Mom, she said she hasn’t felt the earth move in decades. ;)
I remember the one six years ago. My bilko doors have leaked ever since (guess it messed up the concrete). The one today I didn’t feel or hear but I was laying down reading. Animals are acting ok.
You weren’t doing some experiments in your basement were you?
Our damage from 2011 in central MD, which I honestly thought sounded like a gorilla scampering over our ROOF (not ground):
Now I am curious as to what brought you to Maryland from Italy. I guess it is not important. 8>)
I felt it in Bucks County PA.
Just practicing my ventrilochasm.
Obviously worked well since they noticed it as far north as northern New Jersey.
We have a full moon today, so a strong aftershock in the next few days is a distinct possibility.
