Ah, the Nisqually quake. Yeah, we felt it all the way down here in Oregon--the composition of the Willamette Valley means some of the places here felt it better than places closer to the quake in WA. They evacuated a lot of schools that day
I was walking to class when it hit but when I got back my heavy, lofted bed had managed to wiggle itself several inches from its original position.
I've been in a lot of small quakes--when I was growing up in the Puget Sound I lived right across the bay from an active fault line, and it would always give off 3-4.0 quakes at least once every couple of months. The coolest one came in waves and made it feel as if I were on a boat. I wouldn't have felt it if I hadn't been staying up late reading when I wasn't supposed to
and I did get caught because it woke my mom up...oops.
