Earthquake in Seattle area???

[TooPatient]

Anyone hear about or feel an earthquake in the Seattle area this morning?

The manager for my office building saw me in the hall and told me that the shaking I've been feeling is NOT the construction guys (since they aren't even working right now).... it is aftershocks from the earthquake.

What???
I hadn't heard about the earthquake and I just ignored all of the shaking figuring it was the guys doing work in the parking garage under the building.


I've looked online for any information to support this but I can't find anything.


So --
Did anyone else feel this or hear about it?

An interactive seismic activity map for the pacific northwest... I don't see anything major this morning.

Thanks for the link.

That's the same thing I've been seeing on other sites too and there's nothing on the news sites either.


I don't know what she was thinking or where she heard it from..... I wonder if the construction guys told her this so she wouldn't get upset that they're working when they shouldn't be?

The building has been shaking/vibrating/rumbling like little earthquakes every once in awhile this morning but I'd be shocked if the news site didn't cover something as big as she said it was (not huge but still news around here).... Probably nothing.

Once many moons ago two co-workers and I were staying in a seaside condo near Monterrey during the winter. (We had business in Salinas and decided it would be nicer to rent a vacation condo for the week than to stay in a hotel, but I digress.) On our first evening there we were sitting around eating dinner when the condo shook. Being in California, of course we all assumed it was an earthquake. After a few more shakings we went out to investigate, and found some sort of a dozer picking up huge boulders and dropping them into place to reinforce the riprap in preparation for the winter storms.

A few night later we felt shaking again and assumed it was more earth moving, only to find out the next day that we'd felt an earthquake!

I guess that sort of confusion is a thing of the past...
