Temblores

For some reason I was still up at 2:20am last night, which usually would bum me out given that I had to wake up before 7am today. However, being awake meant that I felt my first temblor (tremor - small earthquake) in Chile. At 2:22am the house shook slightly for a few seconds, which admittedly felt like a fair amount longer. It took me a second to realize what was happening, then all the dogs started barking. There was no damage at all, since it was about a magnitude 4, thankfully.

Here's the link to some technical information about the tremor!

I think the best part is that I fell asleep right after that, dogs and all. I suppose I just hadn't wanted to miss out on this Chilean rite of passage.

Edit!
Of course, less than half an hour after I post this, there's another temblor. This one was 5.2 magnitude according to this report, but still just some house-shaking.

Here's more info on magnitudes of earthquakes! Trusty wikipedia.
