It wasn't Tiger
Yesterday, a little after 7 PM, I felt a mild shaking of the sofa. At
first I thought Tiger was sitting behind me scratching his head. But no, he was asleep on the floor. It was an earthquake - centered about 100 miles east of here. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

It was an earthquake - centered about 100 miles east of here. It's sometimes hard to tell. There have been times when I thought there was an earthquake, but it was just one of the cats scratching. One time I heard a loud crash and bang, and felt the house shake (I live on the second floor of a small apartment building). I was sure my downstairs neighbor had a large piece of furniture fall over with lots of breakables on it. So I called to see if she was OK, and she was all casual and said, "I'm fine, no problems." I told her what it sounded like and she said, "Oh, no, just an earthquake," like they happen every day. Which, it turns out, they do, though usually you can't feel them. I love looking up earthquakes on the USGS website (US Geological... Survey?). You can report the quake on the site if you felt it. Turned out this quake was only about 3.2, a baby earthquake, but the epicenter was about a kilometer away! -- Joyce Something you'll never hear an 8-year-old say: "Nana, will you spit on your hankie and wipe the gravy off my face?" |
