I am just east of KHVN. I never felt anything like this before. It was one very strong jolt which was over in a few seconds. Same. Pictures were coming off the wall.

TWCCraig Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That was so cool. Sitting in my car as it rocks back and forth! Thought it was the wind but it wasnt that windy! Such a rare but cool event, I remember the one back in August 2011 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That was so cool. Sitting in my car as it rocks back and forth! Thought it was the wind but it wasnt that windy! Such a rare but cool event, I remember the one back in August 2011The one in 2011 I was in my car as well. Sitting at a light and it started to rock like a gust of wind blew it.

I enjoyed that one, this one felt a lot stronger. Can we find a connection between these and heavy rainfalls that happened just prior? August 2011 was a very rainy month. We've been in a very rainy pattern now too. I remember reading scientific papers linking heavy rainfalls and earthquakes-- is it a possibility? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nuts…everyone is outside currently Yeah, one very hard jolt from side to side here near KHVN. The shades were still swaying for around 5 seconds after it was over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I was in the exact same place for this quake and 2011... sitting upright in my bed lol. This one was more a sharp jolt followed by a good 10 sec rumbling...2011 felt more of a swaying motion for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if there's some correlation. August 2011 was very wet just like this past March 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Never felt one like that before. Pictures are crooked on the wall, light fixtures were swaying and dishes in the display cabinet were jiggling. Loud boom proceeded the shaking. I thought for a second it was Picatinny but quickly realized it was a quake. Was quite long one as quakes go around here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
