Title: EARTHQUAKE
Post by: doofhard on March 06, 2009, 08:39:15 PM
So I take it most people felt that tremor?  It's the first one I have evr felt.  Funny I was sitting on the couch and thought my dog was scratching behind my chair and moving me.  Then I looked and the dog was on the other side of the room.  Freaky.  I've had mates from resovior and warneet the other way who felt it.  Wonder what it measured?

Many years ago took the wife to Vanuatu for our honeymoon, and we had a 6.4 and a 6.7 along with numerous aftershocks.
The first one was at about midnight and the bed shook violently, the wife woke up and said stop it! don't know what she thoughtr I was doing??????????????
The good thing is that I can say without a word of a lie, is that on our honeymoon the earth moved for  for my wife ;D(on more than one occasion)
