Don Cherry's Jacket Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 East Cost weenies. I'm a transplanted Californian. That was nothing. Everyone go back to work.

Fozz Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 About 7 minutes ago I felt some pretty loud rumbles and our chandelier near the entrance was swinging a bit. It lasted 30 seconds or so. I was almost ready to run outside. This was pretty scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Was two distinct periods here. First one was relatively minor, then a pause for a few seconds, then stronger shaking (made my computer screen shake). Are those the p and s waves? Or vice versa?

09-10 analogy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Was two distinct periods here. First one was relatively minor, then a pause for a few seconds, then stronger shaking (made my computer screen shake). Are those the p and s waves? Or vice versa? [/quote There was a distinct rumbling beforehand that only registered in my mind in retrospect of the actual -- and pronounced -- shaking afterwards. I might not have even noticed the first period if it hadn't been for the second; I might have just figured it was a truck going by or something. And there did seem to be a pause between the two.
