Earthquake: the Original Rock and Roll
It started with a “Boom”! Followed by a long growling rumbling. And just when you thought it would stop, it got jiggy again. An earthquake, 4.2 magnitude. California is famous for this, but I haven’t felt one this size in years. Considering that it was centered only 6 miles from here, and it lasted 15 hip-hopping seconds, it got my attention. As moderate earthquakes go, this one had it all: whole house vibrating; floor jumping up and down; lamps, pictures and walls swaying. And just when you thought it was safe to unfreeze your astonishment to investigate, it starts all over again. Now that is what I call, “Plot! Action!” from Mother Earth. Lest you think all is civilized and normal, SHE will remind you of your relative size and lack of strength in the scheme of nature. Take look at the link below before the USGS removes the map. It shows how far out the motion was felt.
