3.6? Could you even feel that? That's a fairly small earthquake.

Oh, so that's what that was. I was outside and thought I heard the house creaking.

So lucky the bridge didn't collapse from that monster.

The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. The NEIC now locates about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year.

yep, I felt it. In fact, it was the first earthquake that i have ever felt, lol.

Buddy and I were in his house watching the NBA playoff game. we were chilling and talking, then suddenly felt a quick jolt--like a car hit his building. We were a bit..."off" at the time :sneaky: so there was a few seconds where we mutually had to accept that we both experienced it rather than the shock being a figment of our imaginations.

His GF came out of the other room and was "wtf was that?"

no car outside, so yeah: EarthQuake! woohoo. I've slept through others since I have been here, or been in buildings or other parts of town where I would not have felt them. If I were at work, our building is a giant fortress and I would never have felt it.

I was in Albany, CA, btw. just north of Berkeley. we were all a bit excited, his GF actually posted a report on USGS. we had no way to describe the level of the tremor, though (mild, moderate, strong, violent) because we just have no perspective.

For me--it was enough that I noticed, which makes it moderate in my book. :\

But there was a bit of a noise, I guess, as the building shook. It definitely felt like an impact, almost like being rear-ended in your car.

Wtf how the hell could you feel a 3.6??? I never notice them until they're at least 5.
