It's getting pretty bad when you have to go to RTH for information on the earth tremblor you just felt. I was unable to access any of the sites operated by the NRC.

From where I am, the third floor of brick house near the foot of the escarpment, my Galileo thermometer seems to act like a sort of seismometer. As with the larger one last year the glass balls in the thermometer were vibrating around in the fluid, with small waves at the surface. Last year there were almost whitecaps.

Today the vibration was much smaller but lasted for easily several minutes. Every twenty seconds or so there would be stillness for a moment, then the ripples resumed.
