Earthquake jolt!
COOL!!! Anyone else feel it? About 10 min ago (4:08 am Jan. 11) Keene had a 3.8 magnitude earthquake--kind of a noisy roll then a jolt. I couldn't sleep so I was up reading when I felt it. Anyone woke up from it?

Oh yeah, a little rumble and shake for a few seconds to finish stirring my coffee!! I just checked the CH 23 earthquake site, and there were 3 in Keene since late last night. Here's that link: http://www.turnto23.com/qua...

Nope... didn't feel a thing my alarm goes off at 4am; and again at 4:10; after hitting the sooze once. I guess when you have cats you get use to those little "jolts" and don't even realize it could be something else. The last earthquake that woke me up was the Northridge Quake.

I felt it... it woke me up. Wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not. I'm glad to know I'm wasn't experiencing DTs or flashbacks. lol

Born and raised in SoCal and having experienced the "Big Ones" the little ones don't even make a blip on my earthquake radar. Whenever my family in the south comments on my living in earthquake country, my reply is always the same, "Give me an earthquake over a tornado any day!"

I woke up just before it hit. I heard it before I felt it.

I'm a California girl too and have experienced several earth quakes. I think the Landers quake scared me the most! It was about 15 years ago. I was living in Lake Hughes at the time. If I remember correctly, there were two earthquakes just a few hours apart...we thought the second one was an aftershock. Anyway, when I looked out the window, it looked as if I was on a ship and the lawn was a huge wave!It scared the **** out of me! Earthquakes didn't really bother me much until that day. I heard the Northridge quake coming up the canyon before I felt it start to shake. To finally answer your question: I didn't feel the quake the other morning but I did wake up from a very loud noise....then my dog barked one time. I was wide awake afterward and had no idea what it was. Someone at work mentioned it later that morning. Hope we don't get any "Big ones" any time soon! posted by

I think it would be great to have a "big one"!!! Not big enough to have a lot of damage, but big enough to give us a good reminder about what a "real" earthquake feels like. Yeah!!!! (big fat earthquake nerd here...)Last I heard, the next big one is predicted to be around Palm Springs- I think that's Coachella Valley? Wonder how well we'd feel that here? posted by

If it's big enough, I'm sure T'pi would get a shake or two. Up here where we are in SC, pretty much on solid rock, I don't know if we'd feel it. Everytime I go see my daughter in Moorpark, driving through the San Andreas fault (Palmdale Buldge) on the 14 never ceases to amaze me. I love geology, the earth humbles me. I don't remember the big one in '52, was just a babe. I do remember the one in '71, a good sized on in the 80's, (the Landers was in the 80's;didn't feel that one but my poor brother lived in SF at the time), and the one in I think in '92 or 3. My family blames me for the one in '94, lol. We moved to Vegas on Jan 1, 1994. As I passed the state line I said, "ok God, let 'er rip!"...sixteen days it did indeed rip. Totaled my mother's mobile home - thank goodness she was actually visiting us in Vegas AND she had earthquake insurance!!! I was trapped by a hurricane two years ago, that bitch called Katrina! posted by

Yes... I remember Katrina quite well. I was in Lake Charles the day it hit New Orleans, headed to MA. I tried hard to outrun it, but she caught up with me in Memphis. Nasty storm, even that far inland. Depressing too- seeing all the evacuees with nowhere to go, sleeping in the roads. And the panic was unreal.
