My pal told me over instant messenger that this one just a moment ago felt like one enormous jolt rather than a swaying motion. That's not good. Reminds me of the two smaller quakes in the months before the big Landers quake let go."
That's interesting KG9Kid. This quake also reminded me of the period of time preceding both the Landers and the Northridge quakes.
I didn't want to freak anyone out. Just recalling that the Northridge quake was an upshift quake preceded twice by other upshift-type quakes about a month or so before.
Upshift quakes can 'feel' stronger, I think. I'm no seismologist though.
