Default Did anybody else's house shake last night?

At the risk of sounding like I'm off my rocker, I've just got to ask if anyone else felt the slight shaking last night around 11:45-midnight. It definitely happened at least 3 times, was a slight but steady movement and then stopped. If it matters, it was an east/west movement. I've been looking just to see if there was some slight tremmor or something to explain it but nothing. I'm hoping this is not just a surprise in my house....but rather a community experience, which for some reason would make me feel better.

Oh, and yes, I do live by the train station but this has never happened before and yes, the bus comes by my house, but also this hasn't ever happened. It was definitely not your typical house creeks.

I felt it. Seriously, I thought it was the neighbors.

Maybe you and Pleasant are neighbors and don't know it.

Default i see dead people

sputnik--you serious?
we asked around to a few friends who live in the area but none of them felt any shaking...although some of them did "feel" like we had an extra guest at the house the other night...i guess a little ghosty wouldn't be the weirdest idea for a 100+ year old house, so long as casper stays friendly, we're cool.

I was wondering what it was, too. I thought it might have been explosions in the distance, like the refineries going up again. Yeah, I know I'm dating myself here.

Default Pgw

Any connection with all of the PGW work on our block and surrounding blocks? We woke up one day at 3 am to feel the room shaking to find them digging on our block.

No, that wasn't it. It was on one of the nights they WEREN'T digging. You had digging too? Funny, we must live near each other.

I was awake at that time...and sitting quietly. I didn't feel it. Are you on Pleasant? If so, I am pretty close to you.

I have, however, heard really loud explosive noises at times when nobody else has notcied them. Once, last summer, one rattled my windows.
