Dear List,

I felt yesterdays earthquake up here in Laughlin, Nevada although I was not sure at the time. I was sitting outside next to a swimming pool on a plastic chair on a concrete slab enjoying Easter with some friends when it hit. It felt like the chair was swaying back and forth beneath me. It lasted so long that I thought I must be imagining it or that the wind was buffeting me. I even looked down to see what was going on with the concrete slab. Nobody else said anything when it stopped so I thought that maybe my equilibrium was a little off from attending the Blues and Brews festival the night before.

Although it was nothing like the 2001 Nisqually Quake in Washington State that I experienced, it was a little unsettling to my stomach as Michael Blood described. I did not think to look at the water in the swimming pool to see what it was doing but it probably would not have mattered since it was windy out.

Best Regards,

Adam
