Earthquake yesterday

General August 3rd, 2006

Earthquake waveform

I was reading at home when this one hit. Lasted maybe 2 or 3 seconds. Our house seems pretty solid and we have plenty of food. Must remember to keep a little store of water. The data from the USGS is pretty. The Did you feel it? map compiled from user reports to their site has a nice feel to it — like a mix of hard science and human experience.
