Yea I felt it so did my dogs, they started barking. I noticed it was located at Vulcan Mining right where they are mining. I know they use explosives there. This might be a dumb question, but if there are fault lines there could mining and explosives trigger an earthquake? Maybe another reason to get them to stop destroying our mountains.

For SurginB: It is very unlikely to trigger an earthquake given the geo-mechanics. It would be like trying to drive a nail ten feet under sand by striking the surface. As it is, however, there are good reasons already to get Vulcan to stop.
As it is, I was roused from sleep last night. The quake had an undulating effect and seemed to last a few seconds. Aside from some dogs barking in the distance, I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it.
