Re: [Geology2] Hey we had a little earthquake here in WI...



I was more likely than I would be now to feel a 1-point-something in the months after Loma Prieta; I noticed my and others awareness/sensitivity was heightened by the emotional impact for the larger quake.  I also recall feeling a truck driving by.  I joked I'd been turned into a human seismograph.

Hey, I'm a native born.  We don't even notice until it's over a 4 and only get out of bed for >5.5.  If it's under a 6.5, we just ride it out…  During Loma Prieta, I was upstairs and amused at the syncopated motion of the house (in Petaluma , ON the mudflat).  Yee haw!
 
That's sorta like the Alaskans not even noticing that it's -15 or lower (Fairbanks was -49 a couple days ago, THEN factor in the wind chill).

A very shallow 1-point-something directly under Daly City was sharply felt there back in the 1990's.

I'm still trying to figure out how anyone felt it. If we had a 2.4 here, it would be so negligible, as to be nonexistent.
