(4,906 posts)5. cant find anything about it yet..my guess is over a 4 and it lasted with everything rattling for
a long time..well, maybe 30 to 40 seconds...which seems like a long time when you want it to stop. I posted on the usgs but I think I was the first to report it so there is no other report yet. No biggie but its a bit of an adrenalin rush so I didn't mean to alarm anyone but your never know. My experience is that when they keep going with that rattle and rumble, things get scary and damage gets done. I'm going downstairs to see if anything fell and check with my neighbors.
