Just rode through the most "violent" earthquake I've ever felt. It was

It's the one which occurred at 17:40:03 today:

would you believe we didn't feel a thing? damned strange.


Rock formations, probably. My barber lives not far from a quarry and
never feels the blasting but the guy down the road does. Considering
how folded the layers are underneath the shock probably follows the
layer in which it occurred.

I have a theory that since I'm in a valley with distant maountains on the east, west and south that the mountains damp the motion n the valley...most of the nearer 6s have been long duration/long wave, rollers - almost like standing on the deck of a ship. This one was a spike.

....and my GF noted that this is the first one either of us has felt when it was raining...all the others have been in clear weather. Odd...
