To common of an occurrence here.
When I lived in Idaho we could sometimes feel tremors rolling in from your neck of the woods, after some of the larger quakes. They were very moderate and usually lasted for weeks, but it was really odd sometimes to be sitting down to dinner and suddenly see the hanging plants start swaying for no apparent reason. I guess the fault lines there have to shift around a little to accommodate California's tantrums.

Called them, they're fine, apparently in their area there was deafening rumbling, but the shaking itself wasn't too bad (although their house stands on stilts in a lake bed, which probably softened it quite a lot).

That reached pretty far though - as I say, my house was swaying, and that's about 400 miles from the epicentre...
Glad your folks are unharmed. Question: how did they manage to build their home 19km underground?

You did remember to give the nurse her leg back, right?
