Didn’t feel it in Blue Lake, but I may have been walking at the time.
Felt it in Fortuna
Was walking and didn’t notice. Halfway up a ridge on a concrete slab floor. I don’t feel them here like I did in the pole structure in Briceland…
Looking at the shakemap I’d say the motion was much like the last one, a shove to the northeast.
A response to the last one.
Like the kids song, “Ten In A Bed”.
…and the little one said, “Roll over Roll over!” and they all rolled over and one fell out…
Felt it in Shelter Cove.
Yes felt it. I live in Eureka, 3 blocks from Winco.
Yes felt in whale gulch
Felt in near Whitethorn. Just a small little shake.
Quick jolt about 7 miles up fickle Hill road. Definitely noticeable.
Very light and quick in Fieldbrook. Mostly the house creaking.
Rolling motion in Rohnerville.
Felt nothing in Rosewood.
Surprising nothing has come from the earthquake expert at HSU. I used to read with interest her reports in the T-S. Be enlightening on her take on the recent cluster of quakes from the same area. Maybe “sheltering” is appropriate and not going to San Francisco. That’s if there is a link.

Twenty two of various strengths in the past 30 days. Most in the 2.0 to 2.9 except for the recent shakers felt by a number of people. Data from the USGS. And yes, I have too much time on my hands!!
