4.3 off Vancouver, December, 29, 2015 around 11:39pm.

I felt it last night. Was like a rolling sensation that lasted for a couple seconds.

Might have been the Indian food though.

6.4 in Alaska, I'm betting it goes up from that, it was a shaker.

Yeah, definitely the biggest one I've felt so far since moving up here.

 

[flyguy]

Upgraded to 7.1. Wow, not sure I want to experience much of a bigger one.

I've lived here in whole life and this one has been the only one that has ever broken anything in the house. I would have to be in a bigger one, I knew this one was going to get bad and right as it hit I was like crap don't be the big one.

I guess it was 2 earthquakes, a 6.4 and a few seconds later the 7.1. I'm not entirely sure but I think each notch on the richter scale has like 10 times more energy than the next, so a 7 will have 10 times more energy than an 8. But I could be completely wrong about that.

No, just one. Preliminary strength was upgraded from 6.4 to 7.1. The deep depth meant it was felt over a wider area than a shallow one.

 

[flyguy]

Just counted on the USGS site - 46 aftershocks, highest of which was a 4.7. Slept through all of those, but at one point we woke up because he heard something fall off a counter in our apartment.

yeah that was weird, I don't think I have seen them do that before. And one site still had it as a 6.8, another had something else and yeah they need a uniform standard for quake reporting.
