Foreshocks, Shocks, Aftershocks

If anyone is interested, Weston Observatory has lots of information on the recent activity - they are now listing about 23 related events. I urge anyone who felt the quakes to report what they experienced. Seismologists learn a great deal from the reports.

Here is a link with a map showing reports of feeling the quake.

My wife and i were up there for the earlier one in September and felt it! I can think of a good bunch of trails i'd rather NOT be on up there with the ground shaking! We were on Beehive earlier the day the first occured.

The funny thing is that it wasn't even a big item of discussion in the resturant we had dinner in. Just another day. Like my coffee mug says... "Maine, the way life should be"
