Earthquake?

Should be some after shocks from this one.

Could be less, but there have been instances when they were worse that the main shock.

Just a few minutes after it happened, WMUR had a news flash on it. They will have more of an update shortly. Website doesn't say much. My sister in Bowdoin, ME felt her house shake pretty good too.

Sitting on the couch watching the tube. Big rumble and then the couch started shaking. Thought the furnace was blowing up! Lamp beside me was actually moving. Hubby's band was rehearsing in the cellar and they didn't feel a thing. They thought I was joking when I went down to see if they felt it too. Biggest one I've ever experienced in my lifetime in NH.

For me, living in San Fran, this was a very small quake but different. It lasted long and the noise was different. New England granite plates grinding.

The Loma Prieta in '89 in San Fran was so intense I watched a woman in a computer chair on wheels go all the way across a 20' room and slam into the wall and every right angle in the interior walls went from obtuse to acute then back to normal. Not a chance I would have been able to walk across that room.

Check your gas lines and foundation. There may be aftershocks.

Did I just feel an aftershock?

At my age I guess that is one way to get the earth to move under my feet.
