Structural Engineering: RE: Seismic Event

Yes, my wife felt it in a building that is located within 1/2 mile of mine, She works on the third floor of her building and I on the ground floor of mine. I find it very interesting that the waves are not consistently transmitted throughout a small area. The USGS has a map showing the number of reports and it appears that they occurred in pockets.

I have relatives in the Pittsburgh region that said the felt it.

With all those hills, the wave might have been dampened in some areas.

BTW, I did not feel a thing here in Michigan...but that does not mean much. I have never felt any quake here in Michigan even though people right next to be said they did. I jokingly say it is because I was born on the West Coast and these "people sneezing posing as earthquakes" just don't register on my West Coast tuned body. <grin>
