Anybody in the NW feel an earthquake?

[keithjx]

Just hanging out working on my fiancee's website when the house shook for just about 1 sec. We're in Helena, Montana, and I already reported it to USGS, but as you guys are the easiest community to access, I thought I'd drop by and see.

Thanks,

1. Could have been the house settling.

Or the drugs.

7. Cool

I really didn't feel anything here (Oregon). 5.6 is a pretty good shake.
