Yeah Alamont may have had a small one at the same time.

That has been the biggest one I have ever felt.  It scared me being on the second floor of an old wooden building it swayed for sure then it kept going  my goodness.

MY gf called me from work to ask if I felt an earthquake...
I responded:
"That wasn't an earthquake... what you felt was an aftershock leftover from the sex that we had this morning.   I'm that good!"...

She didn't buy it  

(True story)
