Just before 5:00 a.m. this morning we felt the house trembling. This time it was much longer, guessing 10-15 seconds since we both sat up and bed and asked each other "Earthquake?"
Hard to describe but you could hear kind of a low pitched rumbling or buzzing sound the whole time. Mom's analogy was spot on "It was like those vibrating beds in the cheap motels where you put a quarter in for a little action".
As you can see from the markers, all three were out a short distance from us in the ocean. The first one (Magnitude 4.8) on Saturday was 13 miles away, and this morning the second (Magnitude 6.1) was 8 miles away and the third just 3 seconds later (Magnitude 6.1) was about 28 miles off our coast.
I'm not sure at what point people starting getting concerned about Tsunamis but it will be fun to research that and see if this is a concern.
