Seattle Just Had an Earthquake
I was just laying in bed getting some work done and my house started shaking. Camano Island, north of Seattle. Anyone else?

If I'm reading the USGS report [0] correctly, it looks like this was a 3.8 magnitude earthquake with "light" shaking, which Wikipedia [1] describes as: > Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some are awakened. Dishes, windows, and doors are disturbed; walls make cracking sounds. Sensations are like a heavy truck striking a building. Standing vehicles are rocked noticeably. But the USGS website is fairly confusing, so I may be completely misinterpreting something here. [0]: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uw71404022...
