Did a little research.
Turns out there is a nest of faults offshore, just a couple miles west, right under one of our nation's elite military training bases, a submarine base, and a navy harbor. Meh. Who knew? It would be cool if there were space aliens hibernating in some sort of suspended cryogenical alien stop growing thing like the remake of War of the Worlds. There are possibly more or less catastrophic reality based paranoias I would rather waste my time conspiring about with anonymous online people on way more paranoid websites than this. I mean, some of y'all are pretty goddamned paranoid. But this ain't the place. There are things we got to get to the bottom of before the bottom comes up and hits us in the collective face! Feel me?
But you don't have to live 'near' one to get the shakes. This 5.2 was 45 miles away and lasted maybe three seconds. It was mild on either side of one big bump. Only damage I saw in the news was rocks that fell on a back country road where minor rockfalls are common.​
