So, was there an earthquake scheduled for today, or was that a long series of large trucks (or something along those lines)?

I missed it - I'm in Boston at work. This area is on an ancient fault line, though...

I took an undergraduate geology class in Worcester, and the professor told us he paid extra home insurance $$ for earthquake insurance, in the rare circumstance the fault line under Mass erupts. (It's connected to the NYC fault.)

I felt vibrations inside Anna's around 12:30PM. But that could be anything.

but now *I'm* curious!

Could have been any number of things, really. The on-and-off nature you describe leads me to believe that it was some sort of heavy equipment. Dunno what kind of construction there is on Mass Ave/Davis Sq, but a stream of trucks going in and out of a site for a while (say, if they were trucking in or out large amounts of dirt and construction debris) would create those kind of vibrations.

Or maybe it's aliens and just think too much about this kinda stuff. :)

Also - if you think that site is awsome, this one is pretty great too.

That's cool. I guess it's one of the side effects of living as we do in an area with no meteorological drama -- you get hungry for that kind of site. :-)

How odd. I was feeling -- and at one point hearing -- rumbling at my desk (north of Porter Sq.) this afternoon (3pm on). Were in Davis were you?
