Alright Seattle: Did you Drop! Cover! & Hold on! for your M4.6 today?
If you felt it, please fill out your shake reports: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…
Take this as your reminder to secure bookcases, stick down loose objects, update your kits & plans, and drill your Drops! or Locks!

Epicentres for M4.6 main & M3.5 aftershock were pretty much RIGHT under cities.
This is good as they’re on the smaller, shallower splinter faults (not our dear monster Cascadia). But, uh, not so fun as a lot of people live close enough to feel quick moderate shaking.

Q: What happens now?
A: Most likely a handful of M3-ish aftershocks (fidgety puppies) & more M1-2 that you won’t feel.
Small chance this is a forequake (hi Ridgecrest), but as this was a crustal quake so it’d be beyond weird to go into a nightmare sequence off this wee lil.

If it were me living nearby?
I’d take this as incentive to go on a home hazards hunt & lead an office quake drill. Take the practice nature gave you.

Q: Uh, I’m just joining in & missed all prior quake threads. Drops or Locks?
A: If you have limited mobility and can’t Drop! during an earthquake, then Lock! your mobility device in place and protect your head & neck as best as you can.
