Popular Post zziffle Posted November 11, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2012 dam_n! I came here hoping to get the bonus points for being the first to post about it. Yeah, I'm on the 15th floor and was swaying back and forth a little. It feels very strange. I like the little ones. They take away pressure from a pending big one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob8891 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 USGS has it downgraded to a 6.6, but it was quite shallow, at only 6 miles. @krisb Not likely to generate any tsunami warning, as it was 270 miles inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
