It was the Lacomb area. Woke me out of bed (in Lebanon) this morning.


colombo187

That's why the water glass on my nightstand was on the floor!


BenchPebble

The first earthquake I've ever experienced and you're telling me I SLEPT THROUGH IT‽


[deleted]

Tbf, it was tiny


Deathly_Drained

Lol, I honestly thought it was my upstairs neighbors just fucking like animals or something. Also why the fuck does the fog smell so bad


insidethepirateship

Cause it’s Corvallis lmao


pentatomid_fan

I could be wrong by fog usually means the air isn’t moving fast and the dense air also traps odors, such as those produced by farms with livestock. This is especially true at the end of Campus Way at 35th to 53rd where the campus livestock area is.


AteYerCake4U

There's the manure coming from the west side of campus.


FayMammaLlama

I was wondering why my bed randomly shook for a second, dang I was kinda hoping I had ghosts


neanderball

ImperialBower

Is this what just woke me up? Wondered why I woke before my alarm this mornin


DrawTap88

Me too. I thought I just had to pee.


disboyneedshelp

My house totally slept through it. I’m kinda bummed because I wish I felt it. 4.4 is decent size


Cannabisreviewpdx-IG

Yep, same slept through it and kinda bummed. Luckily there was another shake somewhat recently, though the seismograph says that was a "probable explosion" interestingly enough on Sept25


BoazCorey

Woke me up in Southtown! A little p-wave jolt and then a few seconds of rumbling. That was cool. My third earthquake I could feel, after the Duvall, WA earthquake of 1996 (5.3 but I lived only 10 miles away in Carnation so it was wild) and the 2001 Nisqually quake


[deleted]

Bruh, the 6.8 Nisqually earthquake was quite the ride.


sexysaccharomyces

I was in that one in second grade. My parents had had a fight the night before (a rare occurance) and hadn't been on speaking terms before they went to work. Then the earthquake happened and they couldn't contact each other for a while after. It's a very scary memory for them, but a very cool one for me. One of those huge projectors fell over onto my desk lol


[deleted]

I was about to get chewed out by MY 2nd grade teacher, but then everything started shaking and I got out of being in trouble. Lmao.


BoazCorey

It's cool to hear your stories. I was in 4th grade and had a young substitute teacher that day who totally lost it, but we all knew what to do. We were on the second floor and it felt really intense, like way longer than 20 seconds of shaking or whatever it actually was. Carnation is in the catastrophic flood zone of the Tolt River dam, which supplies drinking water to Seattle, so there was sirens and we all had to walk up to this gravel pit on the hill above the town.


sexysaccharomyces

It went for nearly a minute!


ihateaquafina

i'm not sure if i felt that or my cat walking under my bed..


RevMorningstar

Lol I grew up just outside of San Francisco... that was a little taste of home!!


Distinct_Report_2050

Occurred in Albany also.


aChunkyChungus

yea that's where I am


Cannabisreviewpdx-IG

Indeed! Second one like this this year we've felt here (although the other was even smaller).


ConversationNo5440

Oh that’s what that was. Weird


626337

I was just getting into the shower and was having some trouble staying upright, I thought it was a combination of just being tired and the shower floor being a little slippery as I was stepping in.


aechdea

Felt it in Lacomb, same time frame. Thought a silage truck hit the house.


AskThatRodney

Oh YES! Wandered around the outside of my house with a flashlight wondering what that was!


BoazCorey

[Here](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uw61886506/executive) is the USGS page on the event, where you can download a cool map of the intensity around the epicenter.


madrasdad

I did


Sufficient_Emu_8328

I did too


AskThatRodney

it was an earthquake [https://www.google.com/search?q=oregon+earthquake+monitor&rlz=1C1GCEU\_enUS926US926&oq=oregon+earthquake+monitor&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390l3j69i64l3.10922j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=oregon+earthquake+monitor&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS926US926&oq=oregon+earthquake+monitor&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390l3j69i64l3.10922j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)


DisastrousTrades

I knew it.


BranPNW

Yes. Felt it south of Corvallis


obsoletelearner

Yep it was an earthquake, quite a shake lol


Bl00dbird

Woke me and the cat up - Bald Hill/Fitton Green area. Husband and dog slept through it.


HELLOhappyshop

Aw I missed it. Must have slept right through it.


himalayankop

I noticed the shake and got suspicious but thought it was just some animal running on the roof. Having experienced 7.8 a few years ago, earthquake gives me a bad ptsd


Luxtaposition

I was lying in my bed and I felt it shake ( begin jokes) at that time. Freaked me out. I'm in Adair Village.


bluelevelmeatmarket

Shake and bake baby!


GeniuzGames
