Just before 8:00AM, while reading, I got that sinking feeling. “Hm.. crap.. that’s an earth quake!”. It was mild, sort of like the little warning you’d get when a big-un is about to unleash some havoc. Then.. quiescence. But, you know a quake when you feel one. It’s nothing like a bus or truck driving by.

At any rate… about an hour later a friend of mine shot me a link from the Seattle Times, so I went and checked the USGS site again (my first check was only for my local area.. it was so small I figured it was local). Turns out it was far away, far south of Olympia.

M3.9 – Washington

At least my PTSD did not kick in this time, although, I did start to get a little anxious. Geez. PTSD sucks… really.. I can’t image how bad it can get for our troops..
