Wow! That's scary! We had a couple of small tremors here in Michigan in years past. But the epicenter was somewhere else. I can't remember where probably in Ohio or Missouri. But we felt it here. I have a friend in North Pole Alaska. Wonder if they felt it there? I'll have to get on Facebook to ask her. Glad that you're safe Snowcreature!(Sorry I don't remember your name!)

There was a small earthquake in Maine recently. I think it was Maine. I was home, in Massachusetts, sitting in a recliner and I got the strangest feeling. My cat was next to me on the sofa. We both looked at each other like, wth? The glasses rattled a bit in our kitchen cabinet. I thought that perhaps some work was being done by the city outside, in the streets or something.

Sure enough, I saw it on the Fox crawl a few hours later that the East Coast did, indeed, have an earthquake. I can only imagine being in a big one. That little tremor scared the heck out of me, really got the adrenaline going. Glad you're okay.

I guess that was better than the 9.2 that hit Anchorage Alaska back in 1964 and almost destroyed the city.

I'm glad you're okay! We get earthquakes herein British Columbia from time to time but so far the epicenter has neve been anywhere near where I live.
