3.0 Quake on Whidbey Island this morn

[freebird5850]

Anyone feel the quake that happened this morn at 6:08? I am working in Everett and felt nothing, my girlfriend at home on Camano felt it though.

[One_who_hopes_to_know]

My girlfriend always told me she felt the earth move when I was away.

Amazing how posters seem to think everyone knows exactly what state, city, county, rural area, mayor, city councilmen, subdivision, street, neighbor's name they live in as if we're psychic.

There, that's better. :-)

good job, thanks!

[noexcuses]

I live on Whidbey Island and didn't feel a thing :-)

The red star is exactly where my house is.... I was up and about at 6 a.m. but never felt a quake.

[bd476]

Glad to help!

[Drango]

I'd be worried if my girlfriend felt the earth move and I wasn't there.

It's when you ARE there and the earth doesn't move that should worry you:-)

Notice the green shading on this map. The green signifies more a intense sensation of shaking than the location of the epicenter, the red star.

As of 8:00 a.m. 107 people have notified USGS that they felt the quake.

Thank you.... on the 2nd map I see that I am located at the 3:00 tip of the red star...out of the blue area. Interesting to be so close but not feel a thing!

[P-Chan Penny]

I felt nothing this morning in Everett, WA either.

[Mr. Mojo]

Slept right through the thing. ....even though the epicenter was practically under my house. It would take at least a 5.0 to get my attention at that time of the morning.

[RobRoy]

Is anything less than a 5 even worth reporting?

[bd476]

In California, sometimes people are surprised by an intense yet small quake after earlier laughing off a larger quake.

It's partially due to depth, proximity to epicenter, composition of the ground, what kind of a quake it is, that is, what type of fault, etc.

[Mr. Mojo]

Holy sh....

It appears I wasn't exaggerating about the epi being right under my house. The red star in the above map is actually covering my property.

Pretty tought to notice a 3.0 unless youre on bedrock.
