earthquake!
Did anyone else on the west coast feel it? About 20 mins ago 5.15am? It woke me up - bed rocking (haha), pictures banging on the wall, something fell over...
WIDE AWAKE, now.
WIDE AWAKE, now.

Re: earthquake!
Didn't feel it out in the fraser valley. 4.6 is small, nothing to worry about.

Re: earthquake!
It was the Seattle quake, I think it registered 4.6.

Re: earthquake!
Redoubt Volcano, 100 miles outside of Anchorage, AK, is due to erupt at any time. The earth has been trembling for a week or so now. Sure that the tremors from the volcano and the few west coast earthquakes are all tied in together.

Re: earthquake!
Perhaps, distantly... in that it's all in the 'pacific rim of fire' zone. The earth is always trembling here (Vancouver Island). It's just not often that it's felt and so strongly.
