Aw, What a Cute Wittle Earfquake You Are!

hey all,

So I woke up around 5AM this morning, not really sure why. Suddenly, I had the sensation that I was in a rocking hammock, or in a boat on a somewhat rough seas. My first (second, technically) Earthquake. As far as I know, nothing was damaged and nobody was killed. The quake's epicenter is the red X in the pic below, and the white dots are the nearby seismic stations: they all registered a 1, but for some reason they have the listed magnitude as 2.9. I suppose the magnitude is on the Richter scale.

Anyway, I'm fine, just a little annoyed at the slight interruption of my sleep.

Cheers,
