Didn't really "feel" it....I was sitting on my couch watching tv with my son and the lights flickered and the tv/cable shut off a few times. I had a lightheaded/dizzy feeling but didn't hear the classic "boom" or feel any shaking or a jolt like you usually would. Ironically, we were joking that maybe it was an earthquake. Wierd!
Power is out in Lakewood and Steilacoom; don't know where else. 150 miles south. Wonder if there's a connection.
Someone hold Me...
My life flashed before my eyes!

Scary.... Recently there was just a 6.8 chile earthquake
 @ArlyPT The difference between a 6.8 and a 3.6 is rather large. The 6.8 is 32 times stronger than a 3.6.... (6.8-3.6x10=32)

 @BravesPackersCougzSounders I think you read too far into that. Stay in school.
 @BravesPackersCougzSounders  @ArlyPT I think (s)he was just pointing out that there was recently another earthquake, and not that (s)he did not understand the math to figure out the difference. Â
