Subject: RE: BS: New Hampshire earthquake
Didn't feel a thing -- supposedly three of 'em. And we're in Nottingham, reasonably close to both Exeter and Portsmouth.
Sure felt the one a few years ago where the epicenter was at Plattsburg, New York. But even that one, I felt it on the second floor (where the brass bed, etc. shook) but Tom on the first floor didn't feel it. Even the cats on the bed didn't so much as look up.
The first New England earthquake I ever noticed was in the late '70s and I was living in Cape Porpoise, Maine -- felt like the furnace was blowing up.
Usually you feel something, but it's so slight you look around to see if anyone else noticed. Most of the time there's not so much as a mention in the paper or anything.
