Earthquake
 

Sounded like an explosion here in Moultonborough.

Yes sir, it sounded and felt like a huge explosion with the echos lasting about 10 seconds. I thought it was another house blowing up from a gas, but when that happened over on Salmon cove it was more like a chest banging thump. This was a single shake of the house with the very loud bang. It was pretty wild. I guess it was centered around Eagle cliff, in Sandwich about maybe five miles from here and 6 km deep.

Pretty cool. Looks like it was right on the eastern shore of Squam. Wonder if it caused in "ripples" in the lake. :D

A 2.9 wouldn't even be a subject of conversation here on the left coast.

And that, good sir, is one reason why we live on the east coast! :D

back in something like 1982-83 I was on a trip to California at the same time when there was a tiny earthquake in NH, which of course was newsworthy.

Talking to someone in CA "where are you from?" New Hampshire. "Oh, isn't that where they have all the earthquakes?"

My cocktails are shaken, not stirred.

However, the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, would have spilled your drink.

I was actually there for that one. Happened during the World Series, and I was at my company's San Bruno office. It took about five seconds for me to realize exactly what was happening. That was an experience. Tremendous damage.

West Coast Earthquake
 

I was there for that one as well. Went back to the hotel, and there was 2-3 feet of water out of the pool.

63 people died in Loma Prieta.

Has there been any death(s) in New England associated with an earthquake?
