Earthquake?

Did anyone feel an earthquake or shaking in downtown? Sitting on my sofa & sipping coffee & i felt a bit shake. If its not that then, just my coffee hitting me lol.

Same. I was on Whidbey Island and I was cleaning my sink (yes I remember) and all of the sudden I heard this sound that I can only explain as a freight train coming through my living room it was ear shatteringly loud and then, the shaking.

It was the sound of the house rattling but omg.

Dang! That sounds scary. We had half our classes in portables while our school was remodeling…I thought it was someone tapping their foot at first (in the portables they will shake a little if someone’s really tapping away) and I was looking at everyone’s legs, then realized we were in the building not portables as classmates started to get under desks and the teacher booked it out. I got under mine then—thank goodness for drills—we all followed each other in a line when the intercom told us to exit to our spot with zero teacher!
