Earthquake Near Leavenworth

[telemarker]

I was standing on top of Castle Rock this evening when it began to jiggle, kinda like jello on a saucer. The tree and rock vibrated for about 10 seconds, and I heard a low hum through Tumwater Canyon.

 

I just checked the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and sure enough, they registered a 4.3 quake near Lake Wenatchee

 

Wild and weird sensation to feel it moving under my feet.

Of course, it all makes sense if you think about it. SCOTUS just struck down DOMA, and being the staunch heterosexual that He is, I imagine God is pretty pissed off and letting us know about it.

I wondered how Jello Tower got its name.

Yup that was weird. Windows started rattling and everything. Was wondering if anyone was out climbing.

I've always worried that there woul be an earthquake while I was climbing and the crack would close up on my hand

Thats why its always good to climb with a pocket knife.

I read a story in ANAM about a guy climbing on Index when a quake struck. He was ok in the end. Probably needed new pants, though.

The Index story, if I'm thinking of the same one, was during the 2001 Nisqually quake, and the participants are former regulars on CC.com. The story as I heard it from one of the guys involved was that rockfall was coming down all around them.
