So, I'm sitting in the hotel in Bozeman last night getting ready to shut down my computer when my chair starts swaying back and forth, as does the entire room. For the next few seconds I'm contimplating if a bigger wave is approaching. As quickly as it started, it ends. A 5.6 magnitude earthquake centered about 77 miles WSW from Bozeman, 3.1 miles deep (according to the USGS website) resulting in a large area that felt the quake.

Thats two I've felt in two years. Pretty wild once the hair on the back of your neck settles down! There have been 11 aftershocks so far but none strong enough to be felt here.

If you want to see a pretty cool website, go to http://earthquake.usgs.gov/shakemap/. There data is nearly real time. The quake last night happened at 0408 UTC and it was on their site at 0410 UTC.

So, if you're wondering "what's shakin" in Montana, it's more than the ladies in the lounge. Ah, but that is another story indeed ;)
