Did You Feel the Earthquake Which Hit Off the Coast Just South of Eureka?

by John Soares on February 4, 2010

I definitely did. I was sitting in my office faithfully slaving away on the computer when I felt the gentle rocking motion. I heard a small noise from something falling on one of my bookshelves, so I did the only sensible thing: I sprung up and went to the bookshelves to hold them up in case the shaking grew stronger. I didn’t want the shelves to fall over and dump books on my computer, printer, and sleeping dog.

Maybe it wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but I live in Lake Shastina, far from major fault lines, so when I do feel an earthquake, it’s usually occurring a long distance away.

If you felt it, you can report your findings to the US Geological Survey.
