Update on the Earthquake:

Not surprisingly, the planet is stillringing from the quake!. Thought I heard something. (that's a joke, I do not think the seismicity is related, but what about that Full Moon at the time? )

This diagram (from the USGS) shows when you would have felt the P waves of the quake in minutes, unless you were in the shadow zone. I was some 150 degrees away at the time, in the area where some of those refracted P-waves converge. Heard a rumour that some wells in the SE USA recorded sudden vertical changes...haven't confirmed that. The second image is of the shadow zone.

But really, did you feel it?
