Heisy Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 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. Same sensation you had. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole place suddenly swayed from side to side with all the shades swinging from side to side. 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. I'm surprised you don't remember August 2011. 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...

doncat Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 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, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 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...

Yeah not good for people that were still in bed. Just talked to my elderly father. He was sleeping late and was so startled that he fell out of bed and hurt his back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
