Feeling the earth move
We had a fun little micro earthquake just now. I’m always floored by how quickly the USGS is able to pick up these events on their radar. Ladies and gentleman, event uw01290200. Their page lists the location of the quake at 45.517°N, 122.667°W. Google maps lists our house as being at 45.522646°N, 122.652483°W. I wonder how close that is.
Alice brings up a good point. This house has been around for 100 years. We wonder how many earthquakes it’s seen.

We missed it. We had just arrived at a friend’s house for dinner, but apparently, you couldn’t feel it at Powell Blvd. I’m sorry I missed it. I like feeling earthquakes.
It was pretty close to the river, according to those coordinates.
